In Oregon, there is always something to do. You can play world-class golf, cycle along hundreds of miles of designated bike lanes, take road trips to wine country, hunt for fossils or get lost in the moment of a play at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival.

There is also plenty to see. In addition to pristine public beaches, high-desert country, painted hills and wine-producing valleys, Oregon is home to North America’s deepest river gorge (Hells Canyon), the country’s deepest lake (Crater Lake) and the world’s second-most-climbed mountain (Mt. Hood), which also happens to host North America’s only year-round ski season.
