United States
You love nature then the state of Oregon, in the United States, the place where you should be. The Beaver State is not only known for its natural beauty but also for its environmentally conscious people. The fact Oregonians are some of the most environmentally friendly Americans.
General
It located in northwest Oregon is six times as large as the Netherlands and half of it is forested. There live only 3.7 million people, half of them in the city of Portland. The state has more than 5,900 registered campsites, 230 state parks, 13 national forests and a national park. If you want, you do so to spend hardly any time in the city and spend the entire vacation in Oregon's wild nature. What we do not recommend it, because Portland is a city you do not want to miss.
America's youngest wine region
While in Oregon since the 19th century, wine is grown, it only grew in the last four decades into a modern industry. The fertile Willamette valley, south of Portland, home to 309 of the 419 vineyards that the state has. Thanks to its Pinot Noir Oregon became known worldwide, but the various climate ensures that the state create various kinds of wines from Chardonnay to Riesling. Another interesting wine region, the Columbia Gorge. On the border with Washington State. On the banks of the Columbia River you will find thanks to the different soil types within 60km a "world of wine." The views from the high river gorge make the experience complete.
Oregon on the road
As throughout the United States, you also experience Oregon on the road. The state has hundreds of miles of scenic byways and tour routes you along the best of the Beaver State has to offer carries. Four of these roads are even regarded as All-American Roads. That honor is reserved for the most beautiful and unique trails in the United States.
As the Hells Canyon Scenic Byway takes you along the Hells Canyon, with a depth of 2.4 km, the deepest river gorge in North America (the Grand Canyon is only 1.8 km deep). He then runs along the foot of the Wallowagebergte - reminiscent of the Swiss Alps - and ends in the Grande Round Valley, a resting place along the historic Oregon Trail.
The Historic Columbia River Highway is also the former Oregon Trail, the route that explorers Lewis and Clark, and later prospectors and settlers took to the Pacific coast. Highway winds along the steep banks of the Columbia River, the Cascades Rapids (rapids) and the Bonneville Dam.
The Volcanic Legacy Scenic Byway takes you past Crater Lake, the deepest lake with 665 m of the US, several extinct volcanoes and Klamath Lake, where during the migration season millions of birds perching. The Pacific Coast Scenic Byway runs along the coastal road along the Pacific Ocean. Rock cliffs, lighthouses and whale watching are what this path so unique.
Adventurous Oregon
Due to the varied terrain Oregon offers plenty of space to practice sports. The state-run hundreds of hiking trails on both mountains and plains, on foot or by mountain bike to get around. The state has hundreds of kilometers of coastline and rivers also water sports lovers will find a way to be. The village of Hood River is known as the 'windsurfing capital of the world, thanks to favorable winds on that portion of the Columbia River. The many (wild) rivers are attractive for kayakers, canoeists and rafters. The 4,000-meter high peaks of Cascade Mountains are again very suitable for winter sports. The Mt. Hood Skibowl is the largest night skiing area in the country. Timberline Ski Area has the longest ski season in the US Other ski resorts are Mt. Bend and Willamette Pass Resort.
Eco-friendly Oregon
The Oregonians care of their nature. Oregon is consistently in the top five most environmentally States and the largest city, Portland, is always near the top of lists of the greenest cities in the US The Oregonians are generally a free-thinking people and that since the 70's one there has a green policy. Portland has one of the best park systems in the major US cities. Parks are not your thing, then you're out of the city in half an hour and you are surrounded by nature.
