Oregon is a place where people often find themselves roaming endlessly with no other goal than the next great meal, powdery slope, lighthouse view or salmon run. We encourage you to approach Oregon the way Oregonians do, with a sense of humor and adventure. So giddy-up! Oregon’s climate is influenced by its unique landscape.Two large mountain ranges run through Oregon from north to south. The coastal mountain range separates the Willamette River valley from the Pacific ocean. Further inland, a second mountain range – the Cascade Range – reaches heights of over 11,000 feet (3,000 meters). These two ranges influence the weather, climate and vegetation for the entire state. The western part of Oregon has a mild, maritime climate. Weather systems move in from the Pacific and lose moisture: first on the Coastal Range and then on the Cascade Mountains. Oregon has more ghost towns than any other state. |

In contrast to the western part of the state, Eastern Oregon, in the rain shadow of the Cascades, has dry weather. This and the higher altitude create “the high desert.” Oregon’s climatic conditions and unique geological formations have shaped the lives of its people. First, Native American tribes found an abundance of food. Then came fur traders who explored this part of the Northwest. Later, tens of thousands of settlers migrated from the eastern United States westward along the famous Oregon Trail to fulfill their dreams in the fertile Willamette Valley. The Oregon Coast is truly special: unlike other states, the entire coastline is publicly accessible. State parks dot the coastline and no gates, fences or private property keep anyone from walking the beaches, surfing the break, fishing, flying kites, exploring historic lighthouses and watching seals, sea lions and gray whales year-round. Each coastal city has its unique character. Astoria, in the north, was the first permanent European settlement in the Pacific Northwest. Moving southward, Cannon Beach is home to many art galleries in its quaint town center. Nearby, Haystack Rock, the third largest monolith in the world, is one of the state’s most photographed natural wonders. Tillamook is the unofficial cheese capital of Oregon: almost thirty million gallons of milk are used to produce the famous Tillamook cheddar cheese and other dairy products. Not surprisingly, a local highlight for all visitors is the Tillamook Cheese Factory where visitors can watch production and sample products like cheese and ice cream. Oregon and New Jersey are the only states |
| What do you remember about your last camping trip? Maybe it´s been years since you last took advantage of this great way to spend time with nature. Or is this a regular habit and you can’t wait to discover that new camping site? Either way, camping is one of the most satisfying ways to take a vacation. Pitching a comfy two-person tent or travelling in luxury in your new RV. Everyone has similar reasons for wanting to experience the outdoors. Today, this is the GREEN thing to do and while camping is evolving somewhat, the things that we all expect are sun, water, trees and fresh air. Those remind us of what´s important. Spend quality time with you family at a camp site you love. Take leisurely swims in the campground´s lake, toast marshmallows, and enjoy the smells of a small wood fire. There’s never a shortage of fun things to do in Oregon! |
