Sites In Oregon

Mount Hood is an unmistakable landmark in Oregon, its peak rising 11,239 feet to make it the highest mountain in the state. On its slopes are a mix of ski hills, hiking trails, and scenic viewpoints accessible via Mount Hood Scenic Loop. The national forest fans out from the peak to encompass waterfalls and hot springs. All told, the scenic area is impressive in its diversity and a top pick for those looking to explore Oregon outdoors. Most visitors are drawn to Oregon's coast for the wide ocean views, interesting rock formations, and sandy beaches. The Oregon Coast Trail is a hiking route that takes in 382 miles of these scenic attractions, from the mouth of the Columbia River in the north to the California border in the south. Most of the trail edges the beach, but a portion also runs along roadways, mainly US 101. There are numerous points of entry allowing easy access to sections of the trail all along the coast.
