Whether
you want trendy downtown, secluded desert, snowy mountain,
dramatic coast or rolling wine country, you’ll find
it in Oregon. The state’s seven regions cover the gamut
from sea level to the tip of Mount Hood. Citygoers will love
strolling Portland’s happening Pearl District, while
adventurers will be happiest traveling by kayak, snow shoe,
mountain bike or river boat.
