I lived in Oregon, Jackson County, for 4 years. I moved there from Texas, to be closer to my daughters. Honestly I would tell you to keep looking, while Oregon has some beautiful scenery, so does most of the Western US, as well as does the South. The climactic zones are varied in the US and it well worth a long road trip. I am originally from Calgary, Alberta, still in the USA though.
I have lived in this sequence: Maryland, Pennsylvania, Louisiana, Missouri, Indiana, New York, Florida, Oregon, Washington State and traveled much of the USA. Oregon ranks on the top! My daughter is now an Oregonian 🤗 It was easy for me to find friends in Oregon. Thank You Oregonians. I will be visiting if not back for good.
I live in Oregon (just outside of Portland) and I am glad to hear how much you liked it!! I have lived here all my life and I intend on staying because I love it so much.
Oregon has too many incredible locations, areas, spots, attractions and historical sites to narrow down to only 10. We, Oregonians are truly fortunate.
@@SuperTrooperThorny That would not have been my first guess or even in my first 10 guesses. Bend and Portland would be my two guesses when I think of Gucci and Teslas.
Homelessness. What to do. What to do. 1. Take action to publicly and/or privately, or both, end it orr drastically minimize it. E.g. vote for people who will act according to your ideas on how to end/minimize it. Go to the encampments and get to know the people and help as much as possible at least one person. 2. Move someplace where everyone has a home that suits your requirements. 3. STFU and deal with it.
@@jasongood5499 It has to do with the mild climate and the fact that I-5 runs North to South. Lots of people hitchhike from the big cities in California.
With the exception of Crater Lake, every place on this list is in the Northern half of the state. FYI, Southern Oregon has just as many amazing spots to offer. Jacksonville is an amazing historic town. Ashland has the Shakespeare Festival, which is one of best theater companies in the country. The Rogue River offers amazing rafting and fishing opportunities. Avid hikers can hike from Grave’s Creek all the way to the coast following the river. And the Rogue Valley has some of the best vineyards in the state. Moral of the story, there’s more to Oregon than Portland the surrounding areas.
I'm from Salem, and I can't agree more! I called Rogue River (the "city", not the river) home for 11 years. Crater Lake is #2? Gimme a break! The whole state has something for everyone. BTW, it's YA-haats, not ya-HAATS.
A Max ride to Portland's Pioneeer Square would be a great outing. Get the down town experience without taking a vehicle to deal with. But yeah, using the Oregon one would be best.
I drove the entire Oregon Coast and found the Samuel H Boardman State Scenic Corridor just north of the California border to be the one of the most beautiful part of Oregon’s coastline. Especially Secret Beach and Natural Bridges
I live right at the mouth of the gorge (Fairview). Can't stand downtown Portland anymore but I love the rest of the state, and have been to all these places and more.
Yes I’m from Washington, but I visit Oregon every summer and my family and I love it !! It’s the most beautiful place to be ... my 8 year old daughter said she would rather go back to Oregon rather then Disneyland!!! Blessings to all
We just got from a great trip to Oregon. We went to Portland, MCMinnville, Yachats, Coos Bay and Ashland. All great places with a lot to see! Yachats was breathtaking at high tide!
wow... this must be the first US state that I (as a European) have been impressed by. pure beauty. San Francisco has always been the only place in the US I was interested in visiting. now I've added Oregon on the list
They are reasonably near each other, so that would actually work. If you rent a car in San Francisco, you could drive up the Pacific Coast Highway, which is an incredibly scenic route.
uh you must be ignorant then. california? montana? colorado? there are so many states with impressive nature. it's hilarious you limit it to one. the nature here is far more scenic than europe's
Wow! Oregon, you never fail to disappoint. Oregonians ( for those of you not from this state) believe that save from Crater Lake , only the parts north of Eugene are of value. Southern Oregon is amazing . With towns like Ashland, Jacksonville ( 1 of 8 towns in the USA where the entire town is historic, ) Brookings ( the banana belt Of Oregon & best costal weather) & I could go on much longer. But the Multnomah area is SO biased they completely disregard these little gems. I guess it’s a good thing, it does keep them out of that portion of this beautiful state. Oh, did I mention that the people are way more friendly & real to boot?!
I'm from los Angeles and never stepped foot out of California. And next year this is going to be my new home. I love the city of LA but i want to get out of my comfort zone and go to Oregon.
@@katphenakatphena3980 I just wanted to let you know that I didn't say anything about living here, I solely meant to visit.But Thanks for your comment.
I got to go look at it up close, like 15 years ago. Now they don't let you walk up the hill I'm told. I just hope somebody buys it someday, that will let people take tours. They'd make some good money.
I was born and raised in Bend, Oregon. I love it, but boy has it changed. Population 12,000 when I was born in '79 with three stop lights and now its well over 100,000 when you include just outside the city limits. Sadly many of the people who moved in are not like the native Bend people, but some are great. It is pretty crowded which stinks because you know how it used to be. The real estate prices have also been driven up immensely and the lot sizes have shrunk in most new neighborhoods to where you are 5-10 feet from your neighbor. The city planners often plan for how things are right now instead of for the growth which can be irritating. Back when it was a mill town my husbands family used to call Bend: poverty with a view. Its a different place now...
We used to drive to Bend from Metolius when we were teenagers to hang out in the "big city" in the mid 80's, I believe at that point there was around 16,000, nothing east of pilot butte until they built the hospital and high school. It has definitely changed.
@@bartmflewis You are right that 16,000 was the population at some point in the 80s. I went to a church near the hospital and there was nothing beyond it to the east back then. The thing that is most sad is that regular people are priced right out of the real estate market. It's not quite like where I live now in Hawaii, but its getting close. We were thinking of leaving Hawaii to move to Bend so we could buy a house and live more like we'd like to, but now that is out...it's too expensive on our teachers' salaries. I love going back to visit though every 6-12 months. Also the place I have to go each time we go back is the Metolius as Camp Sherman is my favorite place to get away and camp or just walk around. So beautiful...A truly special place. I was so worried this year when the fires got close to it. Thank goodness it didn't burn!
@@Juliet42110 I'm a native central Oregonian and truly love this part of the state, I never imagined ever seriously contemplating calling anywhere else home, but that is exactly what we are doing, it's not the place I grew up in anymore, there's to many people for our infrastructure, the inflated property values have priced a lot of locals out of the market, the beautiful places in central Oregon are quite often overcrowded now. I'll miss it here because this will always be my home, but it's time for us to find a place that is more like what it used to be here.
All nice places but my favorite place is the Wallowa Mountains and the Eaglecap Wilderness Area in NE Oregon. It's considered the Swiss Alps of Oregon and I spent 3 months in Switzerland 1998.
Oregon is the best from the 50 states and better than any place in Europe. Only Mexico is more hospitable and friendly. I love Oregon! Greetings from New Zealand
The theatre is still nice. Ashland hasn’t been ruined. It had one bad year because of forest fires nearby causing smoke. Not good for an outdoor amphitheater.
I came here after finishing Days Gone. God, that game is accurate when it comes to detailing every single aspect of it. I really want to visit this State someday, such a beauty

Please mention on the video to be respectful and organized we like to keep the Oregon the way it was....peaceful clean and respectful on the road the way it was!!
Norman Clature 😵 here we go.....have to explain myself with apple and 🍐 Oregon used to be nice and quiet but some many people coming here from other States. They don’t have same education on the roads.
Alberto Palacios I can’t believe they forgot Silver Falls! That’s one of the first things I tell people to go see. And I love how they say climbing to the top of mt Hood is a popular activity. Hahahha. And they said the cascade lakes highway ends at the Sunriver Resort. Oh geez, this video needs some help!
@@HikeOregon I'm glad they didn't. Already too many tourists. Can't even visit the places I use to 15 years ago with so many people who've moved here for the quirky vibe that's now gone.
@@marcob4630, Google Oregon high deserts as well as the Oregon grass lands, I think you'll enjoy it. I would love to at some point visit your part of the world!
I've always wanted to live in Oregon. I grew up in San Diego California but Oregon is just beautiful. We ended up in Texas but it's still my dream to move to Oregon
They should have mentioned reedsport for their bigfoot donuts and chainsaw catching event in the summer. Reedsport is such a great small town just by Winchester bay to walk on a nice beach and go crabbing. Im from myrtle Creek though.
Don't forget the 20 Miracles Miles, just north of Florence, where the coast highway hugs the cliff faces; and the Sea Lion Caves, the only year round haul out for these big animals.
I am watching you from Russia. I like your video. Narration, sound quality are perfect. Content is very interesting. Plz go on. I would like to visit these picturesque places...
politics aside, it is a wonderful state. Just because you politically disagree with its government, should not prevent you from exploring its natural beauty!! This place ( and the pacific northwest) should be a required pilgrimage for every american ;D love from NZ 🇺🇸❤️❤️🇳🇿
@@jacobsenske I went to oregan, or maybe I didn't, where I did visit was some place where the gas clerk insisted on filling the tank for me, sketchy as hell, back to China I go
@@trdtrek3717 Despite the warm greetings by the older lady, I briefly entertained the idea that we were involved in a stick up that will occur either at the station or somewhere down the road when our car finally breaks down from their "fake" gas xD. Yes, they did have uniforms, but anybody can get uniforms, plus her son was ~6'11' waving the pump around firmly repeating "I got this". The fact that we happened upon their property in the twilight hours with an overcast sky did not help the mood of the encounter :) Yes, they could tell us it's the law, but given the circumstances, I would've become even more alarmed by the telling of an apparently emboldened "lie".
With so many people who've moved here in the past 20 years along with the tourists it's not worthwhile anymore with the traffic & crowds. Glad there are many other places that are incredibly beautiful to visit & experience that they didn't mention. Still love Oregon but Portland has become too much and nothing like it use to be.
Lmao Portland is a quaint little town compared to real cities. I suppose it used to be open wilderness, so you are right, but populations are constantly expanding unless the area is failing. Why would you want that?
I live in bend take a guided rafting trip down the snake river it’s brethtaking!! Though i think it’s better if you know someone or have a raft it’s a blast
I've lived in the Eugene area most of my life and I'm 50. I've seen this town change to something I can no longer be proud of. It's sad how housing prices have sky rocketed leaving so many homeless. Personally I think Montana's looking pretty good. People are scarce and the forest is vast.
Teri Bleyhl, good point, but I think opioid addiction has more to do with the homeless crisis. But yeah, real estate prices are definitely going way up.
We would go to Roloff Farm every year when my brother and I were younger for the pumpkin patch, way before the show Little People, Big World aired on tv. A couple years ago we went back and my mom had a good 10 min conversation with Amy. Later that year we went to a store and Amy was there, she recognized my mom and they started talking again. She remembered us too and that was nice.
I feel bad. I have just planed about traveling in portland. Bc I think this state is really beautiful and unique. After I saw comment I don't know how should I feel.
As an Oregonian, another awesome place I loved to be at was the Wings And Waves Waterpark. I've been there a couple of times and I have had a blast all three times.
I love my home state. And as much as I love the places in this video ... I mean: at 8:30, that’s Seattle. And the 10 places are maybe a bit safe. Oregon has way more amazing places that are off the beaten path. But we’ll keep all of those to ourselves ;)
You mean Wildwood Falls? Just don't go in the water. People drown there around once a year in the cave under the falls. (lived in Cottage Grove for 27 years :)

Oregon really stole my heart! I love Alaska as well but I think Oregon just took the number 1 spot in my book, such an amazing State.
Been to all of them
We are definitely spoiled here with this beautiful area. Sadly Portland has gone down hill with huge homeless problem.

Bend at number 9 are you serious that is like the center of the playground in Central Oregon easily top 3 in my book!
I've had the good fortune to live in Bend, Manzanita, The Gorge and Portlandia. Miss them all but especially miss my son who lives in Oregon now. It IS a unique, splendid & super-GORGEous state!💟
I live in Portland Oregon and omg it's become a swamp.
@@alexisarrizon6083 That's what I sense. Hope things DO get better. The number of homeless makes me so sad. STAY SAFE!🌻🌻🌻
I love Oregon because I love gravity falls, going there would be like a fairytale
Me too
Mood 😭
Lol me 2😂
Although lots of Oregon is a desert it’s true life can be like that out here! I live in a little town just like it minus the flying triangles and such
There are dozens and dozens more. I got old and won't be able to visit everywhere here much to my chagrin.. It is paradise
Please mention on the video to be respectful and organized we like to keep the Oregon the way it was....peaceful clean and respectful on the road the way it was!!
Bro we respect Oregon. you guys on the other hand...
Daniel Garcia 😵😴😵 I’m not your bro!
Lowboy XL... Respect....
Did you just pull that statement out of your ass or out of somebody else's ass?
@@kwlowboy7838 really that's the take away from my comment? Jesus no wonder Oregon is the way it is
Norman Clature 😵 here we go.....have to explain myself with apple and 🍐
Oregon used to be nice and quiet but some many people coming here from other States. They don’t have same education on the roads.
My home is in Rogue Valley in southwestern Oregon come say.I love this state lived here all my life.
Everything but Portland. U guys forgot silver falls and tulip fest and the Oregon gardens
Alberto Palacios I can’t believe they forgot Silver Falls! That’s one of the first things I tell people to go see. And I love how they say climbing to the top of mt Hood is a popular activity. Hahahha. And they said the cascade lakes highway ends at the Sunriver Resort. Oh geez, this video needs some help!
@@HikeOregon I'm glad they didn't. Already too many tourists. Can't even visit the places I use to 15 years ago with so many people who've moved here for the quirky vibe that's now gone.
Gresham Oregon and its amazing!! we truly have it all here. Blessed
Truly beautiful! Apart from the sea, it's quite similar to Switzerland where I live
You are so very fortunate to live in LA BELLE SUISSE! 🇨🇭
@@Lynne-28 thanks!
We have some beautiful high deserts in central and eastern Oregon, does Switzerland have something similar??
@@bartmflewis No, no : no deserts at all, if not the "desertic" Alps above 2000 meters with no grass more
@@marcob4630, Google Oregon high deserts as well as the Oregon grass lands, I think you'll enjoy it.
I would love to at some point visit your part of the world!
Awesome video. Oregon is an incredibly beautiful state. Proud to be from there.
They forgot Rogue River, whether you experience the jet boats from the gold beach side, or the Grantspass side: some of the best kayaking 😁
Dawn Shipp and the Wild and Senic part :)
Can't miss the Cascades! Great recommendations.
I've always wanted to live in Oregon. I grew up in San Diego California but Oregon is just beautiful. We ended up in Texas but it's still my dream to move to Oregon
What a beautiful state, I love the rugged shoreline ❤️. What I wouldn’t give to spend the fall out there.
I live in Oregon.. been to 7 of the 10 locations now to see the others
They should have mentioned reedsport for their bigfoot donuts and chainsaw catching event in the summer. Reedsport is such a great small town just by Winchester bay to walk on a nice beach and go crabbing. Im from myrtle Creek though.
Don't forget the 20 Miracles Miles, just north of Florence, where the coast highway hugs the cliff faces; and the Sea Lion Caves, the only year round haul out for these big animals.
florence is scary
@@makennawhetstone4467 why is it scary? I like Florence just wondering.
Makenna Whetstone why: what happened in Florence ?
I am watching you from Russia. I like your video. Narration, sound quality are perfect. Content is very interesting. Plz go on. I would like to visit these picturesque places...
politics aside, it is a wonderful state. Just because you politically disagree with its government, should not prevent you from exploring its natural beauty!! This place ( and the pacific northwest) should be a required pilgrimage for every american ;D
love from NZ 🇺🇸❤️❤️🇳🇿
Thank you, sincerely.
But we're trying to get people to stop moving here haha.
@@jacobsenske I went to oregan, or maybe I didn't, where I did visit was some place where the gas clerk insisted on filling the tank for me, sketchy as hell, back to China I go
苗媌緢喵瞄描 ... It’s law in Oregon!
@@trdtrek3717 Despite the warm greetings by the older lady, I briefly entertained the idea that we were involved in a stick up that will occur either at the station or somewhere down the road when our car finally breaks down from their "fake" gas xD. Yes, they did have uniforms, but anybody can get uniforms, plus her son was ~6'11' waving the pump around firmly repeating "I got this". The fact that we happened upon their property in the twilight hours with an overcast sky did not help the mood of the encounter :) Yes, they could tell us it's the law, but given the circumstances, I would've become even more alarmed by the telling of an apparently emboldened "lie".
Well said. Even more now than ever. Coming from a conservative Oregonian.
With so many people who've moved here in the past 20 years along with the tourists it's not worthwhile anymore with the traffic & crowds. Glad there are many other places that are incredibly beautiful to visit & experience that they didn't mention. Still love Oregon but Portland has become too much and nothing like it use to be.
Lmao Portland is a quaint little town compared to real cities. I suppose it used to be open wilderness, so you are right, but populations are constantly expanding unless the area is failing. Why would you want that?
I live in bend take a guided rafting trip down the snake river it’s brethtaking!! Though i think it’s better if you know someone or have a raft it’s a blast
Nicely done. Thanks for taking the time to prepare it and share it.
Dont forget wallowa lake by Joseph
Some beautiful bronze art in Joseph. Baker City and Pendleton have some great little shops downtown too.
dont tell them the good places, thats what turns them to hell holes
Stop don't tell people about that it's already getting to crowded
You sure can learn something new every single day, touropia proves the point. Thank you.
I've lived in the Eugene area most of my life and I'm 50. I've seen this town change to something I can no longer be proud of. It's sad how housing prices have sky rocketed leaving so many homeless. Personally I think Montana's looking pretty good. People are scarce and the forest is vast.
Teri Bleyhl, good point, but I think opioid addiction has more to do with the homeless crisis. But yeah, real estate prices are definitely going way up.
Teri same is going on in Colorado. Meth and opioids are everywhere. Homeless vs wealthy. Hatred abounds. I wonder is anywhere is any different.
We would go to Roloff Farm every year when my brother and I were younger for the pumpkin patch, way before the show Little People, Big World aired on tv. A couple years ago we went back and my mom had a good 10 min conversation with Amy. Later that year we went to a store and Amy was there, she recognized my mom and they started talking again. She remembered us too and that was nice.
I saw her once in Beaverton.
I feel bad. I have just planed about traveling in portland. Bc I think this state is really beautiful and unique. After I saw comment I don't know how should I feel.
@@bob_frazier OK Could I ask something? I can't drive . Is there any public transportation to go out from Portland? Or I must go with tour only.
SuperNova38402 There is public transportation.
Just stay away from Portland, utilize bus lines like the Breeze, Greyhound, etc to see the real Oregon.
As an Oregonian, another awesome place I loved to be at was the Wings And Waves Waterpark. I've been there a couple of times and I have had a blast all three times.
I didn't hear anything about our beautiful hot springs, or The Oregon the Caves.
I love my home state. And as much as I love the places in this video ... I mean: at 8:30, that’s Seattle. And the 10 places are maybe a bit safe. Oregon has way more amazing places that are off the beaten path. But we’ll keep all of those to ourselves ;)
Everyone should go to wild woods in cottage grove, Oregon. It's so beautiful
You mean Wildwood Falls? Just don't go in the water. People drown there around once a year in the cave under the falls. (lived in Cottage Grove for 27 years :)
Okay- I am amazed OREGON IS WONDERFUL!
I lived her for many years and raised my kids there!!❤️
Are you the sister that allowed AAA to help us get on our way?
kisstantari I don’t know what you mean!?? Lol
@@sparklesxox582 It's ok my wife and i were stuck in Or and was blessed by a person that shares your first name and location. She was so kind that she used her AAA to get us towed to some hippies that could fix out van without gouging us. "I thought maybe by some karmic stretch it was you.
kisstantari that’s Awesome!! I wish I could say it was me!!😃 where are you from ? There’s not too many Lisha’s out there !!! Lol ❤️
A beautiful state, I visited several of those areas in 2011.
It is beautiful geographical videos like this that deserve more attention
I lived in Portland in the 80s I loved everything about it never a dull moment
I lived there in 1990 -1991 a whole year as a construction worker . I never did go to the Greyhound races and now their gone 😯
It's a cesspool!!
I’ve been living in NM for 14 almost 15 years and I’ve always wanted to go across the Pacific Northwest mostly Oregon
It's beautiful country. LMK when you're heading this way, steaks on the grill on me!
