Oregon is a dramatic land of many changes. Our rugged coast, high mountain passes, lush greenery, magnificent waterfalls, lava beds and forests create a natural beauty, preserved for all to experience and enjoy.
Adventure-lovers, welcome to utopia! Oregon’s rugged and diverse geography means there are rivers to paddle, cliffs to climb, surf to ride and trails to tackle. If adrenaline isn’t flooding your veins, but you still long for the outdoors, we’ve got plenty of secluded spots to linger in the shade, float down a cool lazy river, or spot exotic birds. Whatever your passion, Oregon’s natural and scenic variety – coast, mountains, rivers, high desert, plains, forests and valleys – lends equally to exhilarating outdoor adventure or tranquil exploration. Expert guides can help you rappel faster, paddle harder, or spot that elusive woodpecker. Let us know what you’re interested in; we’ll get you connected.
In Oregon, it’s easy to eat your way around the state where wineries dot the hillsides, lush fields stretch for miles, cattle and lamb graze on grasslands and seafood ply our waters. It’s a place where you can learn a vintner’s philosophy on wine while walking her vines, and where farmers arrive at local restaurants with boxes of fresh produce picked for the chef that morning. It’s a place where artisan cheese is as likely to be paired with a handcrafted microbrew as it is our fine Pinot noir, where salmon and mushrooms grow wild, and truffles are both sweet and savory. All of this bounty is creatively prepared by exceptional chefs committed to their craft and the fresh, vibrant flavors of Oregon. Here is just a sample of what you’ll find.
In Oregon, we’ve got a different concept of luxury. It’s not highfalutin velvet rope stuff, but as accessible, warm and individualized as the people you’ll meet here. It’s in simple pleasures, like the cozy comfort of feather beds and soft down quilts at our intimate inns. It’s in our customized river adventures guided by folks who’d rather be on the river than anyplace else, who make sure meals and accommodations, even in the wilds of Oregon, are as refined as the knowledge they’re eager to share. It’s in meeting some of the finest winemakers in the world, indulging in weekends dedicated to tasting the most respected vintages made, complete with vineyard tours and chats with the vintner. It’s in the sumptuous Northwest cuisine crafted from the freshest seafood, local produce and natural meats into some of the best dining to be had on the West coast.
But enough bragging. Come experience Oregon’s hidden travel gems for yourself – a ward-winning golf courses, culinary masterminds, exclusive trip packages, world-class spas and tucked-away luxury properties, all in the midst of wide open beaches, jaw-dropping waterfalls, lush forests and awesome mountain peaks. We’ll help you craft a trip of a lifetime. Just give us a call and we’ll share some of our favorite Oregon indulgences.
Echoes of Oregon’s pioneer past and American Indian ancestry emanate from the far reaches of the state, offering an intimate look at our nation’s history. Covered wagons and calico reign along the old Oregon Trail, where museums, living history re-enactments and historic markers bring the nation’s largest Western migration alive and honor the legacy of Oregon’s tribal history. Inspiring settlers to hit the trail were Lewis and Clark and their Corps of Discovery, who wintered in the far northwestern reaches of the state. The historic scene is captured in every detail at Fort Clatsop, a national historic park with a full replica of the fort and trails to the ocean.
Modern day explorers can get a taste of the Wild West by taking part in one of the oldest rodeos in America, but also by heading off the beaten path to explore some pretty unexpected places – from underground tours of secret rooms and tunnels of ill repute to ghost towns and a perfectly preserved Chinese outpost from the 1800s left untouched for decades. So “Go West!” Oregon style, and chart your own memorable journey. It’s a road trip worthy of any time machine.
We can't tell you enough about the best places in Oregon. They're tucked away in our mountains, along our rugged coastline and among our spectacular waterfalls. A backcountry run, a hidden fishing hole, a secluded fire lookout, a teeming tide pool, a local trailhead you stumble upon – they're the things that bring visitors back.
