Things to See in Oregon:

1. Smith Rock State Park: is a state park located in central Oregon's high desert near the towns of Redmond and Terrebonne. Its sheer cliffs of tuff and basalt are ideal for rock climbing of all difficulty levels
2. Multnomah Falls: is a waterfall on the Oregon side of the Columbia River from the face of the waterfall into the upper cascade pool, above Benson Bridge. The falls drops in two major steps, split into an upper falls of 542 feet and a lower falls of 69 feet,with a gradual 9 foot drop in elevation between the two, so the total height of the waterfall is conventionally given as 620 feet. Multnomah Falls is the tallest waterfall in the state of Oregon. It is credited by a sign at the site of the falls, and by the United States Forest Service, as the second tallest year-round waterfall in the United States
3. The Lewis and Clark National and State Historical Parks: in the vicinity of the mouth of the Columbia River, commemorate the Lewis and Clark Expedition.
4. Painted Hills: When you travel to the Painted Hills, you can see millions of years of history revealed in the layers of mountains of earth, one color at a time. Painted Hills is one of the three units of the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument, located in Wheeler County, Oregon
5. Crater Lake: was formed when the caldera of the Mount Mazama volcano collapsed. At 1,943 feet in depth it is the deepest lake in America. Since it doesn't feed any rivers, fish were added later, and the water replaces itself thanks to rainfall and snow.
