RV Road Trip; 100 Best Things to Do in Oregon 16/20

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.

 

76. The Octopus Tree

This Spruce Tree is in Tillamook. It is not known how one tree can have so many trunks. The tree is believed to be over 270 years old, and the base of the tree is over 50 feet round.
While more trees grow up with one trunk, this one has a number of smaller trunks, making it rare.
The tree is surrounded by a fence, and you are not permitted to touch it. There is a plaque which tells you about the many theories about the tree.
It will not take too long to see the tree, although discussing how it came to be like that could take a long time!

 

77. Portland Saturday Market

This is known as the largest market to be continually worked in the USA. It is an outdoor arts and crafts market which takes place every Saturday and Sunday from March through December.
You will find over 400 stalls, and attracts over 750,000 visitors each year.
Plan to spend a full day here as there is so much to see and many food places where you can buy lunch and refreshments.

 

78. Oregon Trail Interpretive Centre

The center hosts exhibitions of natural history, explorers to the continent, Native American pioneer life, and mining settlements in the area. You will find the center 6 miles northeast of Baker City.
There are regular events such as living history demonstrations, multimedia presentations and special events. You will also find over 4 miles of trails to follow with information plaques along the way.
Allow yourself a half day here.

 

79. Lost Lake

You will find this in Sisters. What is amazing about the lake is that every year, in the center of the Cascade Mountains the lake disappears down a giant sinkhole. The lake fills to capacity during the winter months, and then drains away in the spring, when it turns into a lush, green meadow.
Geologists think that there may be lava tunnels underneath, where the water runs off into, but this is speculation.
When the streams run fast the river basin fills up, but when the streams slow down and the water disappears.

 

80. Hot Lake Hotel

You will find this in La Grande. The hotel was featured in a television program as being one of the ‘scariest places on earth’. Be prepared to be disturbed in the night by noises, bumps, and ghosts!
The hotel used to be a nurses training center and flight school during WWII. During a bad winter of typhoid, the hotel foyer was used to store to bodies of infectious victims until the ground thawed and they were buried.
After that the place was turned into an asylum. The property was bought and turned into an hotel, but it seems that some of the previous residents just cannot leave!
