The very word inspired the largest voluntary land migration in recorded history, and not without good reason.
Windswept beaches, verdant forests and snow-capped peaks give way to sweeping rangelands, towering rock formations and dramatic river valleys in this incredibly diverse land. Mother Nature’s finest elements provide the perfect foil for human innovation. The result: a vast and everchanging playground for the soul.
To help you find your way around, the Tourism Commission divides the state into seven distinct regions: the Coast, Portland, Mount Hood and the Columbia River Gorge, the Willamette Valley, Southern Oregon, Central Oregon and Eastern Oregon. Each region offers a wide range of activities and services. You can always find
something for everyone. Order a copy of Oregon’s new magazine, Travel Oregon, through the Oregon
Tourism Commission’s website: www.traveloregon.com or by calling 001-800-547-7842. When you arrive in Oregon, visit one of our nine welcome centres and over 130 visitor centres staffed with friendly folks anxious
to assist.
We invite you to discover a state where renowned chefs, four-star hotels and world-class golf exist side-by-side with roadside diners, yurts and snowboarding. Oregon. We love dreamers.
