The Incredible Flower Road Trip Through Oregon Is The Ultimate Spring Adventure

Want to take in the spectacular beauty of blooming wildflowers? Take a drive to Mosier Plateau in Eastern Gorge, Oregon. Your road trip to see wildflowers will be well worth your drive!

We Oregonians put up with a long rainy season but that's okay. We know this rain is how we get to live in such a verdant state blessed with spectacular forests, meadows, tree-lined streets, rushing rivers, and clear blue lakes. And while Oregon is gorgeous country all year long, there's nothing quite like the magic of spotting a field or hillside ablaze in bright flowers surrounded by all that greenery. At Mosier Plateau, you'll see swaths of golden yellow, a range of purples and blues, and sweet white blooms. And it's all set in a scenic hilltop landscape overlooking the gorge.

A road trip to Mosier Plateau is the perfect way to immerse yourself in Oregon's spring and summer wildflower season.

You'll be delighted by gorgeous pops of color as you explore.

Visitors describe the scene as looking like rows and rows of stunning flower bouquets.

I particularly love the patches of purple along the hillsides.

The gorgeous gorge backdrop is fantastic all on its own, making this a great walk or hike no matter the season.

Bring your camera to capture this beautiful scene. This is also a great place for taking portraits.

Nothing beats a bright blue bloom.

I love seeing the water below.

And near the beginning of the trail, which is reported to be of easy to moderate difficulty, you'll be greeted by a magnificent waterfall.

I'm taken by these bright pink-purple flowers.

The subtle little white flowers are lovely.

What could be sweeter than these tiny white blooms?

I can't wait to return for another visit!
