What are the best state parks in Oregon?
Aside from its one national park, you’ll also find some of the best state parks in Oregon. Here’s a short sampling:
Oregon Caves National Monument and Preserve: This 4,554-acre site is located in Cave Junction. Here, you can tour the cave that was formed almost 200 million years ago. Aside from the underground, it’s also a great spot for hunting and hiking.
Newberry National Volcanic Monument: Over in Bend, you’ll find this 1,200-square-mile area located in the larger Deschutes National Forest. Take in the lakes, lava flows, and other geologic wonders here. You can also horseback ride and hike.
Ecola State Park: Recognize the beach here? Well, this 1,023-acre park was the backdrop for several movie scenes, including Twilight and Goonies. Take in the ocean views, tidal pools, sea stacks, and rainforest here, or learn about the Tillamook tribe or Lewis and Clark.
Does Oregon have any natural wonders?
Aside from the Oregon geyser, there are a few other natural wonders in Oregon:
Columbia River Gorge: This 80-mile-long canyon forms the border between Washington and Oregon. And at 292,500 acres, it is the largest national scenic area in the U.S., and you’ll also find more waterfalls here than anywhere else! Just a few of the most popular include Bridal Veil Falls, Fairy Falls, and Multnomah Falls.
Painted Hills: This multicolored landscape is located in Wheeler County at the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument. You can take in the fossils, forest, and geologic history via five hiking trails.
Neskowin Ghost Forest: Over in Tillamook County, you’ll find this eerie stretch of beach. While only stumps remain, they were formerly massive Sitka spruce trees. It is believed that a major weather event like an earthquake or tsunami destroyed the area thousands of years ago.
What are the most beautiful places in Oregon?
While it can be argued that all of its nearly 99,000 square miles are beautiful, check out this brief list of some of the most beautiful places in Oregon:
Crater Lake: Not only is this the sole national park in the state, but it’s also one of the most beautiful places to see. Crater Lake is the product of a colossal volcano erupting and collapsing into itself and that crater filling with water. It is the deepest lake in the U.S. and also contains some of the purest water on earth.
Willamette Wine Valley: This area spans about 150 miles and offers some of the best wine in the U.S. through its over 500 wineries. It’s a beautiful spot to take in by car or stay for a day or two.
