RV Road Trip; 100 Best Things to Do in Oregon 15/20

The state of Oregon is known for the diverse landscape. You will find forests, farms, mountains, and beaches within short distances from each other. The capital city is Portland, and you will find the city full of iconic shops and boutiques. Coffee shops abound, and you will be able to sample different beers at the many microbreweries. Farm-to-table restaurants will give you a taste of local cuisine, while art and historic museums will satisfy your knowledge about the past events there.

An interesting fact to note is that the capital, Portland has more breweries than any other city in the world! You will be able to choose from 60 within the city limits.

Known worldwide is the amazing Crater Lake, the deepest lake in the USA. These are just two of the many wonderful things you will find in this diverse state.

 

 

71. Sloth Centre

This small center in Rainier is home to the largest population of captive Sloths in the world.
The center is dedicated to keeping the animals safe and helping to keep them from becoming extinct.
Visitors can see the giant animals slowly moving around their enclosures, and learn more about these animals in the natural habitat. You will also be able to feed them.
Check out times for guided tours and note that these must be in small groups, so it is a good idea to book your visit in advance to save delays.

 

71. Tom McCall waterfront Park

The park is found in downtown Portland. It was named after Governor Tom McCall who pledged his support for the area.
The park is often used by joggers, and cyclists. There are fountains where you may sit and eat lunch. It gets very busy during lunch times, when workers enjoy lunch in pretty surroundings.
The Oregon Brewers Festival is held there, as well as the Waterfront Blues Festival. For both these events you should book in advance.

 

72. Thor’s Well

You will find this strange thing in Yachats, on the coast. It is classed as a natural wonder. You will see what looks like a great big hole into which the sea runs. It is locally known as the drainpipe of the Pacific.
It is thought it be only about 20 feet deep, but the water swirls around the edges before seeming to disappear.
This is best viewed at high tide or in stormy weather when the waves wash over the edges. Do not be tempted to try to reach the hole as you will surely be washed away!

 

73. Tillamook Rock Lighthouse

This lighthouse is no longer active. You will find it 1.5 miles offshore from Tillamook Head. The lighthouse was built and completed in 1881. Shortly before it was finished, the ship Lupatia was wrecked there, and sank, with all 16 crew being lost.
At the time when it was built, it was regarded as the most expensive lighthouse to be built. It was nicknamed ‘Terrible Tilly’ because it was so risky to reach it, especially in storms.
It is privately owned and is listed as an Historic Place. It will not take long to see this, so there will be time for you to walk along the coast and enjoy the ocean.

 

74. Treehouse Motel

This unusual bed and breakfast is in Cave Junction. The motel is literally a giant treehouse, where guests sleep in their own rooms – in the tree.
The resort also offers such things as zip lines, riding courses, and rafting courses.
This is certainly an unusual place to stay, and is one of the only places to offer lessons in design and construction of treehouses!

 

75. Willamette River

If you enjoy sitting on a river bank catching fish, then you should look at this. Bring your rods, and stay a few days while you catch salmon, trout, and many other fish.
This is a great place to park an RV for a few days, relax and enjoy the outdoor life. The sunsets in the area are wonderful, and the area is peaceful. There are many small towns dotted along the banks, but it is wise to make sure you have all your provisions with you.
