Oregon is pioneers' country. Since its earliest days it has told the story of the determined emigrant in search of a better way of life. Today, Oregon's many cities and towns reflect this unique history and offer a seemingly endless list of attractions and places to explore.
From vibrant communities of the Willamette Valley, Oregon's last stop on the emigrant's westward trail, to the ranching communities of eastern Oregon, history abounds. So does the opportunity for adventure, which can be found deep in the mountainous terrain of Oregon's spectacular Hells Canyon, and along the formidable cliffs of the Oregon Coast.
Hiking, mountain climbing, windsurfing, skiing and llama-trekking are all legitimate means of travel for the 21-century pioneer who wants to experience a little of Oregon's legendary beauty and doesn't mind a little adventure along the way.
