Outside of Washington, nowhere else in America do you get as diversified landscapes and terrain, displaying the vastness and multitudes of Mother Earth's beauty: Deserts, Plains, Valleys, Mountains, Rainforests, Seascapes, Coasts, and Volcanoes. Originally colonized mainly for the Gold Boom in the mid-1800's, Oregon thrived to become a home to farmers, vineyards, agriculture, lumber, fishing, art, and crafts. Beautiful mountains with dramatic volcanic and/or glacial carving; Mount Hood, Haystack Rock, Devil's Punch Bowl, Crater Lake, and the Cascades. The Snake River carves its mark through Hell's Canyon, and the vastness of the Columbia River with magnificent waterfalls and topography sends one spinning - not to mention the coastal carved beauty of some of the world's most fantastic beaches and seascapes.
