RV Road Trip; 100 Best Things to Do in Oregon 17/20

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.

 

81. Painted Hills

This unexpected display of desert color is in Mitchell. This is classed as high desert, so you will find a brutal environment in the cold months.
Despite the cold and harsh climate, the landscape remains the attraction, with wonderful colors. These are increased in intensity after a rain shower.
This is a great attraction for paleontologists, and if you are interested in this then, makes sure you head that way. Be sure to take warm, waterproof clothing if you decide to hike.

 

82. Oregon Vortex

You will find this roadside attraction in Gold hill. Local residents regard the area as haunted. Natives used to refer to it as ‘forbidden’. Rumor says that horses would often refuse to pass through the area.
In 1904 a Gold Assay Office literally slid off the foundation, coming to rest at an odd angle. There are many places where it appears to be optical illusions. Sometimes two people of exactly the same height appear different.
Make sure you stop there on any journey, have a cup of coffee, and hope that it does not roll off the table!

 

83. Proxy Falls

These falls are very popular with photographers. You will find them in McKenzie Bridge. The falls are fed by a spring creek over a 226-feet drop.
Interestingly, there is no drainage from the two pools at the bottom. Instead they drain into the ground through the rock, because it is very porous.
You can easily hike to the falls; in fact they are less than a mile along the Proxy Falls Trail. You will find the trail open all year round, but it may be inaccessible in the winter due to snow. If you go in the winter, you may take skis, or snowshoes.

 

84. Kam Wah Chung & Co. Museum

This landmark preserves the Chinese culture in Oregon. You will find it in John Day. It was built in the 1870’s and used as a trading post. Later it was adopted by the Chinese community as an apothecary.
In 1952 it was turned into a museum, and today it houses one of the most extensive collections of items from Chinese immigration.
Allow a half day to see the museum and learn about the old apothecary shop.

 

85. The Freakybuttrue Peculiarium

If you are a sci-fi buff, then you will want to see this museum. Freaky, but fascinating it what you could call it. You will find it in Portland.
This museum is not for the faint-hearted, neither is it suitable for children. But anyone who is fascinated by weird and odd stuff should enjoy paying a visit here.
It will take a half day to see the weird place.
