Welcome to Oregon

Oregon is a record-breaker packed into one state. Crater Lake is the deepest lake in the country, formed when a volcano collapsed and filled with nothing but rain and snowmelt, which is why its water is impossibly clear and the bluest blue you will ever see. East of Portland, the Columbia River Gorge cuts an 80-mile canyon lined with more than 90 waterfalls, including the 620-foot Multnomah Falls. Here is one you can brag about: every single inch of the Oregon coast is public by law, so all 363 miles of beaches, sea stacks, and tide pools belong to everyone. The state even hides the largest living organism on the planet, a honey fungus in the forest that covers more than four square miles. Add Mount Hood, the striped Painted Hills, and the biggest independent bookstore in the world, and Oregon delivers. Below you will find every Oregon map, trip, guide, and hidden gem we have.
