Looking for a complete Pacific Northwest experience?
Oregon is approximately
1/3 smaller than modern Germany, yet has about 1/25 the population.
In Europe you would concentrate on culture and museums. Here in
America, our greatest treasures are works of nature, not works of
man. Oregon is blessed with lots of natural beauty. Plus, we live
here and we want to show it off!

Oregon Tour:
Best of Oregon & the Redwoods!
There's hiking almost
everyday: an old growth forest, a coastal rain forest, a mile of the Oregon
Trail, on a beach, to an ocean bluff, and among the towering redwoods,
for example. Other explorations include a wilderness alpine lake, up to
15 waterfalls, and a small town with great theatre, art galleries, restaurants,
and shops. Most hikes are easy to moderate. Boat rentals are available
at some of the stops. Driving is every other day, with free time for relaxed
exploration on non-driving days.
