Oregon Vacations, Oregon Vacation Reviews, Tourism Guide

Oregon has one of the most diverse landscapes of any state in the U.S. It is well known for its tall, dense forests; its accessible and scenic Pacific coastline; and its rugged, glaciated Cascade volcanoes(Crater Lake National Park and Recreation Area is particularly well known). Other areas include semiarid scrublands, prairies, and deserts that cover approximately half the state in eastern and north-central Oregon.

Oregon's climate – especially in the western part of the state – is heavily influenced by the Pacific Ocean. The climate is generally mild, but periods of extreme hot and cold can affect parts of the state.

With several mountain ranges that are all high enough in elevation to get plenty of winter snow this state is also abundant with waterfalls.
