19 Best Places to Visit in Oregon
Northwestern Oregon
1. Portland
Portland has always felt like a bunch of places we love. A little bit Seattle, a little bit Austin, and a whole lot of its own thing. It’s quirky, creative, and has a food scene that never disappoints. It definitely earns a spot as one of the best places to visit in Oregon.
When visiting Portland, we almost always fit in at least one coffee stop (or three). Coava, Stumptown, Good Coffee, and Tōv are all worth a visit, depending on where you are in the city.
Powell’s City of Books is always a must-visit, especially if you love getting lost in bookstores. And if the weather’s nice, we like wandering Washington Park. The International Rose Test Garden is stunning in the spring and summer.
Nearby, Pittock Mansion has one of the best skyline views in the city. The grounds are free to walk around and are especially beautiful at sunset. There’s a small parking fee ($2/hour) and it does fill up quickly, but if you’re up for a short hike, you can also reach it from Lower Macleay Park.
If you’ve got a sweet tooth, there’s a bit of a doughnut rivalry here between VooDoo and Blue Star. We say try both and pick a side. Or head to Pip’s, our personal favorite, known for mini donuts and delicious chai flights.
For dinner, Por Qué No? has some of our favorite tacos in the city, and if there’s room after that, Salt & Straw ice cream is always a good idea. Their flavors are creative, seasonal, and delicious.

2. Columbia River Gorge
Just 30 minutes from Portland, the Columbia River Gorge is one of the best places to visit in Oregon for hiking! This canyon stretches over 80 miles along the Oregon–Washington border and is packed with lush forests, dramatic cliffs, and dozens of waterfalls, including the most famous of them all, Multnomah Falls.
There are so many ways to explore the Gorge, but if you’re short on time, here are some of our favorite stops:
Multnomah Falls: This iconic 620-foot waterfall is super easy to access. You can see it just a short walk from the parking lot, or hike up to the bridge and even the top if you have time (2.3 miles roundtrip).
Latourell Falls: A quick and scenic 2.1-mile loop that takes you past two waterfalls. The lower falls are just a few minutes from the parking area, so it’s a great stop if you’re in a hurry.
Horsetail & Ponytail Falls: A short, 0.8-mile trail with the fun bonus of being able to walk behind a waterfall.
Angel’s Rest: A steeper 4.5-mile hike that rewards you with panoramic views of the Gorge.
Whenever we’re out this way, we almost always stop at Sugarpine Drive-In on the way back to Portland. It’s just outside of Troutdale and serves up salads, sandwiches, and soft serve sundaes that taste even better after a hike.
Watch our day trip video to the Columbia River Gorge to see how we spent a day chasing waterfalls!
3. Hood River
After exploring the Columbia River Gorge, make your way to Hood River, a small but lively town that sits right on the Columbia River. It’s surrounded by orchards, mountains, waterfalls, and vineyards. And with easy access to both Mount Hood and the Gorge, it’s one of the best places to visit in Oregon!
One of our favorite ways to enjoy Hood River is just by wandering around town. The main street is super walkable and full of cute shops, coffee spots, and restaurants. For coffee, check out Ground Espresso Bar & Cafe or STOKED. If you’re hungry, Solstice is a local favorite for wood-fired pizzas with a view of the river.
If you’re up for a hike, Tamanawas Falls is a great trail nearby that leads to a beautiful waterfall. In the spring and fall, the drive along the Fruit Loop is also really pretty. It’s a scenic 35-mile loop through orchards, vineyards, flower farms, and roadside fruit stands.
4. Silver Falls State Park
Silver Falls State Park is one of the best places to visit in Oregon if you want to be surrounded by waterfalls! Located about an hour and a half south of Portland, it’s home to the Trail of Ten Falls, a loop hike that takes you through a mossy forest past (you guessed it) ten waterfalls. You can even walk behind a few of them, which never stops feeling magical. The full loop is 7.6 miles, but South Falls is the easiest to access and one of the most impressive.
If you’re visiting in late March through mid-April, the Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival is just over 30 minutes away in Woodburn. It’s a fun, colorful stop with rows of tulips, food vendors, and lots of opportunities to take photos. The flowers change week to week, so we recommend checking their bloom report before you go.
5. Mount Hood
Mount Hood is one of the best places to visit in Oregon if you love outdoor adventure all year long! It’s the tallest mountain in the state at 11,249 feet and sits about 90 minutes southeast of Portland. It’s a stratovolcano (though considered dormant) and is part of the Cascade Range, surrounded by the Mount Hood National Forest. The area is full of trails, lakes, rivers, and plenty of ski areas.
If you’re visiting in the summer or early fall, there are endless trails to explore around the mountain. We’ve explored near Timberline Lodge and around Trillium Lake, which has one of the most iconic views of the mountain. Mirror Lake is another great forest trail, and there are longer hikes that lead to waterfalls or into the alpine.
In the winter, Mount Hood turns into a snowy wonderland and offers four different ski areas: Timberline, Mt. Hood Meadows, Skibowl, and Cooper Spur. Timberline is especially unique because you can go skiing year-round on the Palmer Glacier. If you’re not into skiing, you can snowshoe, cross-country ski, or go tubing. Snowshoeing from White River Sno-Park has incredible wide open views of the mountain. Just make sure to grab a Sno-Park permit if you’re visiting in winter!
No matter the season, Timberline Lodge is always worth a visit. Built in the 1930s, movie fans might recognize it from The Shining, since it was used for the exterior of the Overlook Hotel.
Oregon Coast
6. Astoria
Astoria is not only one of the oldest cities in Oregon, but it’s also one of the best places to visit in the northwest corner of the state. This port town sits where the Columbia River meets the Pacific Ocean, one of the most dangerous river bars in the world! It has played a big role in Oregon’s maritime history, with its roots going all the way back to the early 1800s.
One of the best ways to take in the views around Astoria is from the Astoria Column. This 125-foot tower sits on a hill above town, and after climbing the 164 steps to the top, you’re rewarded with a panoramic view of the Columbia River, the Pacific Ocean, and the surrounding forests.
Downtown is full of local shops, breweries, and restaurants. We’ve had fish and chips from Bowpicker, which is served out of a converted boat! And if you want a fun way to explore town, hop on the Astoria Riverfront Trolley, which offers hour-long rides along the waterfront. You’ll also find references to The Goonies scattered around town (it was filmed here, and it’s kind of a big deal!).
If you’re into history, the Columbia River Maritime Museum is really interesting. It dives into the area’s maritime past, including shipwrecks, the Coast Guard, and more. You can even view the Wreck of the Peter Iredale at Fort Stevens! Or you can visit Fort Clatsop, where Lewis and Clark camped during the winter of 1805–1806. There’s a short trail to a replica of the fort, and it’s a great stop to learn a bit more about the area.
We filmed our visit to Astoria which includes some of the best views, local spots, and a little surprise adventure. Watch it here!
7. Cannon Beach
With its soft sandy shores, dramatic sea stacks, and a charming beach town vibe, Cannon Beach is one of the most iconic places to visit on the Oregon Coast. It’s an easy day trip from Portland (about 90 minutes away), and it was one of our favorite weekend getaways when we lived in Seattle!
The most famous landmark here is Haystack Rock, a 235-foot sea stack, where, at low tide, you can walk right up to it and explore the tide pools and look for sea stars, anemones, and crabs.
If you’re looking to explore more, head to Ecola State Park, just north of town. There are multiple viewpoints and hiking trails here, including the Clatsop Loop Trail, which has forested paths and big ocean views. You can also hike to Crescent Beach, a quieter spot that usually has fewer people.
Oswald West State Park is also close by and full of great trails like Cape Falcon or Neahkahnie Mountain, which both offer incredible views. And if the tide is low, Hug Point is worth a stop to see a little waterfall right on the beach.
We have a full Cannon Beach weekend itinerary on the blog, with everything we did, ate, and loved during our visit.
8. Tillamook
If you’re a fan of cheese (and ice cream!), Tillamook is one of the tastiest stops along the Oregon Coast. This small coastal town is home to the Tillamook Creamery, where you can learn all about how their iconic cheese is made… and eat lots of it!
We’ve visited the Creamery a few times now and always have a great experience. You can watch the production line in action, browse a bunch of fun exhibits, and sample different cheeses. But the best part is the food! From gooey grilled cheese sandwiches to fresh scoops of Tillamook ice cream, there’s no shortage of delicious things to try.
Nearby, Cape Lookout State Park was one of our favorite stops along this stretch of the coast. We camped here for a night and loved being just steps from the beach. The Cape Lookout Trail is an almost 5-mile out-and-back hike that follows a narrow forested ridge to a viewpoint over the ocean.
If you’re looking for a tougher climb, Kings Mountain is nearby and offers one of the more underrated views in this part of Oregon. It’s steep with over 2,500 feet of elevation in about 5 miles round trip, but the view at the top is incredible.
If you have extra time near Tillamook, head out to Cape Meares for great coastal views and a visit to the shortest lighthouse in Oregon. It’s a quick walk to the viewpoint and the nearby Octopus Tree, a uniquely shaped Sitka spruce!
9. Bandon
Bandon is one of the best places to visit in Oregon if you’re looking for dramatic coastal views, a charming small town, and fewer crowds than the northern coast. It was our final stop during a Southern Oregon Coast road trip and ended up being one of the most memorable.
The coastline here is rugged and beautiful. At Face Rock State Scenic Viewpoint, you can admire giant rock formations from above or walk the beach at low tide. Some of the rocks have fun names based on their shapes, like Wizard’s Hat and Cat and Kittens (and they really do look like their names!). If you visit between April and August, you might also catch Circles in the Sand, a giant labyrinth drawn in the sand by local artists that you can actually walk through!
Just a few minutes away, Coquille Point is part of the Oregon Islands National Wildlife Refuge and has a stunning overlook, beach access, and a trail lined with sculptures made from ocean plastic (part of the Washed Ashore Project).
In town, Old Town Bandon is a short walk filled with shops, restaurants, and a few surprises. We loved stopping at Cranberry Sweets & More for treats, and if you can, wander through the Washed Ashore gallery, which features sculptures made from plastic pulled from the ocean!
10. Brookings
Brookings is the southernmost town on the Oregon Coast and while it isn’t very big, it’s a great place to start (or end) a road trip along this stunning stretch of coastline. This area is known as Oregon’s “banana belt” thanks to its relatively mild weather, and it’s packed with beaches, scenic overlooks, and one of the most beautiful coastal drives in the state.
In town, you can stretch your legs on the short walk out to Chetco Point or grab a bite at local favorites like Zola’s on the Water, Khun Thai, or Pacific Sushi & Grill.
Our favorite part of visiting Brookings was exploring the Samuel H. Boardman State Scenic Corridor. This 12-mile stretch of rugged coastline is just a short drive from town. Some of our favorite spots were Whaleshead Beach, Arch Rock, and Sisters Rocks, but the real standout was Secret Beach. If you can time your visit with low tide, you can walk along the sand past sea stacks and even see a waterfall pouring straight into the ocean.

Central Oregon
11. Bend
Located in Central Oregon’s high desert, Bend gets more sunshine than much of the state, and the Deschutes River flows right through the heart of town. We’ve visited Bend in both summer and spring, and each season offers a totally different (but equally awesome) experience.
Downtown Bend is super fun to explore! Some of our favorite stores were Scout and Pine, Lark Mountain Modern, The Bend Store, Ju-bee-lee, and Cascade Cottons. After shopping, take a walk through Drake Park, which runs along the Deschutes River right behind downtown. For a great view of the city, head to Pilot Butte. You can drive or hike to the top, and from up there, you’ll get a beautiful view of town with the Cascade peaks in the distance.
Of course, no trip to Bend is complete without great food! Some of our favorite spots from this trip were Wild Rose (incredible Northern Thai food), Bontà Gelato, and Bo’s. And for coffee and ocean rolls, The Sparrow Bakery is a must!
If the weather’s not great or you need an indoor break, check out the Old Mill District for shopping and river access, or visit the last Blockbuster in the world for some nostalgic fun.
We also highly recommend heading out to Smith Rock State Park. It’s about 40 minutes from town and offers some of the most dramatic views in Oregon’s high desert. We’ve done the popular Misery Ridge and River Trail loop and it’s easy to see why this place is considered one of Oregon’s 7 Wonders!
We have a guide with 40+ fun things to do in Bend. And if you want a peek at what four days in Bend can look like, check out our video from one of our favorite trips there!
12. Deschutes National Forest
Just minutes from downtown Bend, the Deschutes National Forest covers over 1.6 million acres of Central Oregon and is one of the best places to visit in Oregon if you want easy access to the outdoors. What we love most about this area is you can hike through dense pine forests, explore volcanic landscapes, paddle across alpine lakes, and even snowshoe or ski in the winter, all without driving very far.
This is where you’ll find some of our favorite hikes and views in all of Oregon, like Tumalo Falls, a stunning 97-foot waterfall that’s super easy to access in the summer (and a fun snowshoeing destination in winter), or Green Lakes, a longer day hike that ends at a dreamy alpine lake nestled below the mountains. No Name Lake and Bend Glacier is another gorgeous hike with nonstop views the whole way.
One of the coolest spots we visited was Newberry National Volcanic Monument. It’s part of the Newberry Volcano, an active shield volcano that last erupted 1,300 years ago. We hiked the Trail of Molten Land through jagged lava fields. Fun fact: NASA astronauts trained here in the 60s to prepare for the moon! We also hiked up Lava Butte, which offers awesome views if you’re up for a short, steep climb to an old fire lookout.
Southern Oregon
13. Crater Lake National Park
Crater Lake National Park is not only one of the best places to visit in Oregon, but it’s also the state’s only national park. Located in Southern Oregon, Crater Lake is home to the deepest lake in the United States at 1,943 feet deep. The lake was formed when Mount Mazama erupted over 7,000 years ago, and what’s left behind is a massive caldera filled with the most intense blue water we’ve ever seen. It’s no surprise it’s one of the 7 Wonders of Oregon!
Start your day with sunrise at Watchman Peak, a short 1.7-mile hike with amazing views of the lake and Wizard Island, a cinder cone in the caldera. For a tougher hike, Garfield Peak gains over 1,000 feet in 3.5 miles and offers panoramic views beyond the lake. Or keep things mellow on the nearby Discovery Point Trail.
To see the lake from all sides, drive the 33-mile Rim Drive, which has over 30 overlooks. Don’t miss the Phantom Ship Overlook to spot the park’s smaller island that looks like a ghostly ship sailing across the water!
Check out our detailed guide to Crater Lake, where we share the 15 best things to do, plus a one-day itinerary to help you make the most of your visit!
Eastern Oregon
14. Leslie Gulch
Located in a remote corner of Eastern Oregon, Leslie Gulch is one of the most unique places to visit in Oregon. With colorful volcanic rock spires, rugged canyons, and sweeping desert views, it feels more like the Southwest than the Pacific Northwest. Located in the Owyhee Canyonlands, it’s definitely off the beaten path, but so worth the effort if you’re up for an adventure!
The main draw here is the scenic drive. The last six miles of gravel road leading into the gulch pass through towering tuff rock formations, with dramatic cliffs and winding turns that make it feel like you’ve left Earth entirely. While the drive is doable in dry weather for most vehicles, high clearance is a plus!
There are several short hikes in the area, and Juniper Gulch was our favorite. The trail starts near a pit toilet and begins in a lush section of the canyon before climbing steeply to a panoramic view of the Owyhee Canyonlands. Upper Leslie Gulch is a more mellow option with scenic rock walls, though it doesn’t lead to a big viewpoint. Timber Gulch is the shortest but steepest trail and includes a little scrambling at the end. Dago Gulch can also be explored on foot or by 4WD and has some fun side canyons.
Want to visit Leslie Gulch for yourself? There is a lot to know before you go in order to have a safe visit. We share all of the details in this guide to visiting Leslie Gulch.
15. Alvord Desert
When most people think of Oregon, they picture waterfalls, forests, and the coast. But nearly half of the state is desert, and the Alvord Desert is one of the most unforgettable places to experience it.
This massive dry lakebed in Eastern Oregon stretches about 7 miles wide and 12 miles long and sits beneath the eastern escarpment of Steens Mountain. Tens of thousands of years ago, this was a deep lake. Today, it’s one of the driest places in the state, getting only about 7 inches of rain per year!
While in the area, one stop you absolutely should not skip is the Fields Station General Store. Their hand-spun milkshakes are legendary and very much lived up to the hype for us. They have tons of flavor options, a small general store with snacks and supplies, and a $10 minimum for credit cards, so bring cash just in case.
If you’re visiting the Alvord Desert as part of an Eastern Oregon road trip in late summer or early fall, another thing you can do is drive the Steens Mountain Loop. Snow blocked the road during our spring visit, but if you’re heading north toward Burns, it’s a scenic detour worth adding.
If you’re looking to extend your time in the area, Willow Creek Hot Springs makes a great side trip. These natural hot springs are located down a long, bumpy gravel road south of the Alvord Desert.
16. John Day Fossil Beds
John Day Fossil Beds National Monument is made up of three separate units: Painted Hills, Sheep Rock, and Clarno. This area is home to vibrant geology, ancient fossils, and some of the most unique landscapes in the state.
Start your day early at the Painted Hills Unit, the most photographed and well-known part of the monument. These hills are striped with red, yellow, and orange bands, caused by layers of volcanic ash and claystone that have been slowly eroded over time. There are a handful of short trails that let you explore the hills, with the Painted Hills Overlook, Painted Cove Trail, and Red Scar Knoll being our favorites.
After exploring the Painted Hills, head over to the Sheep Rock Unit, about an hour away. This is where you’ll find the Thomas Condon Paleontology Center, which has hundreds of fossil specimens, murals, and even a working fossil lab you can peek into. Nearby trails like the Sheep Rock Overlook and Island in Time let you experience more of the park’s blue-green badlands and learn about the area’s prehistoric past (it was once home to rhinos, camels, and crocodiles!)
17. Joseph
Nestled at the base of the Wallowa Mountains in Eastern Oregon, Joseph is one of the most underrated small towns in the state. And while it still flies under the radar for many travelers, we think it’s one of the absolute best places to visit in Oregon!
Downtown Joseph is super walkable, with local shops, outdoor gear stores, and fun spots to explore. Be sure to stop by Arrowhead Chocolates for an espresso and one of their housemade truffles. For shopping, we loved Copper Creek Mercantile and Quickhatch Provisions.
Just a few minutes south of town, you’ll find Wallowa Lake, a stunning glacial lake backed by 10,000-foot peaks. The nearby Wallowa Lake State Park has a beach, campground, and a small marina, and the surrounding area has rental cabins, restaurants, and easy access to the lake and trails.
And if you’re up for something unique, Joseph Branch Railriders offers a super fun way to explore the countryside. You’ll pedal a custom-built railbike down an old railroad line with nonstop views of the Wallowas in the distance. We did the Valley Sights Tour, and it ended up being one of the most unexpectedly fun things we did in Joseph!
18. Wallowa Mountains
Often called the “Swiss Alps of Oregon,” the Wallowa Mountains are one of the most beautiful and underrated mountain ranges in the Pacific Northwest, and easily one of the best places to visit in Oregon if you love hiking, backpacking, or just epic views.
These rugged peaks are part of the Eagle Cap Wilderness, which covers over 360,000 acres and is home to some of the most scenic trails in the state. A few popular hikes include:
Ice Lake Trail (15 miles round trip): A challenging hike to a stunning turquoise alpine lake surrounded by rocky peaks. Many hikers choose to backpack and spend a night at the lake.
Chief Joseph Mountain Trail (6.8 miles): A steady climb with views of Wallowa Lake and the valley below.
Maxwell Lake Trail (7.6 miles): A trail that leads to a remote alpine lake. The last mile is steep, but the views are worth the effort.
Wallowa River Loop (26 miles): This backpacking loop connects multiple lakes and valleys and is a great way to explore more of the Eagle Cap Wilderness over a couple of days.
If hiking isn’t your thing (or you’re visiting early in the season like we did), the Wallowa Lake Tramway is an amazing way to experience the mountains from above. The tram climbs 3,700 feet to the summit of Mount Howard in just 15 minutes and offers panoramic views, a few short walking trails, and a restaurant at the top. Tickets aren’t cheap (around $50 per adult), but for the scenery alone, we think it’s totally worth it.
19. Hells Canyon
Straddling the border of Oregon and Idaho, Hells Canyon is the deepest river gorge in North America (even deeper than the Grand Canyon!). Carved by the Snake River and flanked by the Wallowa Mountains, this wild and remote area is one of the most dramatic landscapes in the Pacific Northwest, and definitely one of the best places to visit in Oregon.
One of the top ways to experience the canyon is by driving the Hells Canyon Scenic Byway, a 218-mile loop through Eastern Oregon with mountain vistas, river views, and small towns. The road to Hells Canyon Overlook offers an epic viewpoint where you can see deep into the canyon and down to the Snake River.
For something a little more adventurous, you can hike into the canyon or book a guided jet boat tour or rafting trip from nearby towns like Halfway or Joseph.
We took an unforgettable road trip through Eastern Oregon and covered some seriously epic spots, including Leslie Gulch, the Alvord Desert, the Painted Hills and the charming town of Joseph. Watch the video here, and check out our blog posts for more tips on each spot!
Planning Your Trip to Oregon
Airports to Fly Into
The main airport in Oregon is Portland International Airport (PDX). It’s the most convenient option if you’re visiting Portland, the Columbia River Gorge, Mount Hood, or the northern coast.
If you’re exploring other parts of the state, there are a few regional airports to consider:
Redmond (RDM): Best for visiting Bend, the Cascade Lakes, and Central Oregon.
Eugene (EUG): A good option for Willamette Valley, Southern Oregon, or the central coast.
Medford (MFR): Closest to Crater Lake, Ashland, and the Rogue Valley.
North Bend (OTH): A small airport on the Southern Oregon Coast.
Getting Around Oregon
You’ll need a car to explore most of Oregon. Many of the best hikes, scenic drives, and small towns are not easily accessible by public transportation. A regular rental car works fine for most trips, but if you’re planning a more rugged adventure, consider renting a campervan or an SUV.
We have a full guide on Stoked to Camp that shares our favorite campervan rental companies in Oregon, including ones based in Portland and Bend.
Best Time to Visit Oregon
Oregon is a year-round destination, but the best time to visit really depends on what you want to do:
Spring (March–May): This is one of our favorite times to visit if you’re chasing waterfalls, want to see wildflowers and tulips, or explore Portland. It’s also a beautiful time on the coast and often less crowded!
Summer (June–August): The most popular time to visit! High mountain trails are usually snow-free by July, alpine lakes are thawed, and the weather is warm and dry. This is peak hiking, camping, and road trip season.
Fall (September–November): Still great for hiking, especially in early fall. Crowds thin out, colors start to change, and the coast is especially peaceful and beautiful during this time.
Winter (December–February): If you’re into skiing or snowshoeing, head to Mount Hood, Bend, or Southern Oregon for snow adventures. We’ve also had some surprisingly sunny days on the coast in winter (and way fewer people)!
