Oregon lies in the Pacific Northwest and features rugged rocky coastlines, dense forests, fun cities, mountains, deep canyons, and desert in the southeastern part of the state.
The Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail crosses through Oregon along the Cascade Mountains. With almost no civilization along its route and very few highway crossings creates an opportunity for experiencing nature while avoiding civilization.
Duffy Lake in the Cascades Mountains, is fairly easy to hike with a dramatic turquoise lake surrounded by craggy mountain peaks at the top. Nice campgrounds at the trailhead with small campground at summit for packers. Marion Lakes is one of the more beautiful campgrounds with views from the lake of Three Fingered Jack a unique rock formation. Great for horseback riding. You have wonderful views of mountains and lakes. There are a few trails you can choose from. The Oregon Trail was one of the main overland migration routes on the North American continent, leading from locations on the Missouri River to the Oregon Country. Between 1841 and 1869 the Oregon Trail was used by settlers, ranchers, farmers, miners, and business men migrating to the Pacific Northwest.
The valley of the Willamette River in western Oregon is the most densely populated and agriculturally productive region of the state, and is home to eight of the ten most populous cities. Oregon's largest for-profit private employer is Intel, located in the Silicon Forest area on Portland's west side. Oregon enjoys a diverse landscape including a scenic and windswept Pacific coastline, the volcanoes of a rugged and glaciated Cascade Mountain Range, dense evergreen forests, and high desert across much of the eastern portion of the state. The towering Douglas firs and redwoods along the rainy Western Oregon coast provide a dramatic contrast with the lower density and fire prone pine tree and juniper forests covering portions of the Eastern half of the state. The eastern portion of the state also includes semi-arid scrublands, prairies, deserts, and meadows. These drier areas stretch east from Central Oregon. Mount Hood is the highest point in the state at 11,249 feet. Crater Lake National Park is the only national park in Oregon.
