Things To Do
Willamette Falls
Some cool falls by the venue. It is the largest waterfall in the Northwestern United States by volume.
Powell's City of Books
The largest new and used book store in the world! It looks small from the outside but theres 68,000 Sqft worth of beauty on the inside.
Pittock Mansion
A historical mansion that looks over the sky line of Portland... you cant really lose. You may need to book ahead for a tour!
Washington Park
"Washington Park is a public urban park in Portland in the U.S. state of Oregon. It includes a zoo, forestry museum, arboretum, rose garden, Japanese garden, amphitheatre, memorials, archery range, tennis courts, soccer field, picnic areas, playgrounds, public art and many acres of wild forest with miles of trails"
Multnomah Falls
Oregon is known for its waterfalls, this one is the most famous one.
Bonneville Fish Hatchery
If you like the idea of walking around nature and feeding fish. This is the right place for you and its free! Except the quarters to feed the fish..
Tillamook Creamery
The best cheese the U.s has to offer. This is both a favorite of the bride and groom...but mainly the groom.
Timberline Lodge
This lodge is located on mount hood. It is warm and cozy. The exterior was featured in the movie The Shining. "Constructed from 1936 to 1938 by the Works Progress Administration, it was built and furnished by local artisans during the Great Depression"
Cannon Beach
Most famous beach in Oregon. You may recognize it from the movie Goonies!
Seaside
A tourist trap but its a cute one! Has a retro American beach feel. Definitely worth a stop if you are exploring the coast.
Astoria
This is primarily where the Goonies was filmed. Such a unique place and has some good food like Custard King!
Bend
Bend is located in central Oregon and is apart of Oregon's desert. Bend is known for it's hub of christian hipsters and that is not a bad thing.
Deschutes River
The Deschutes river is a long river located in the desert of Oregon. This river is also known for some good white water rafting. Emily has gone three times but refuses to go a fourth due to statistical reasons not the experience.
Umpqua Hot Springs
Oregon has quite a few hot springs and this one is the most popular!
Crater Lake National Park
"It is not actually a crater, but rather an ancient caldera of an extinct volcano, Mount Mazama, which erupted over 7,000 years ago"
Oregon Shakespeare Festival
"With a season that spans February through October, alongside ample fanfare, the Oregon Shakespeare Festival greatly defines the community and culture of the surrounding city of Ashland. This is especially true in the downtown district, with Victorian-themed restaurants and shops throughout. Much of the audience tends to spill out of the theaters and onto these streets after a show."
Silver Falls State Park
"The trail passes a series of breathtaking waterfalls along a rocky canyon, and descends to a winding creek at the forest floor."
Depoe Bay
I have stopped here many times while driving through the coast and camping and most of the time I see whales. It is a pretty cool stop. Any time driving along the Oregon coast is a good time. It is stunning.
Clear Lake
A stunning lake! you can rent canoes and paddle around. It's so clear you can see full trees AND Emily's Dad's pair of sunnies she threw in when she was a baby.
Oregon Zoo
This is a pretty cute zoo. And you cant go wrong with a cute zoo.
