Spend time ambling along sandy Cannon Beach on the dazzling Oregon coast.
Uncover the highlights of the Pacific Northwest while travelling between dramatic valleys and thrilling cities, sipping sun-downers on sun-drenched beaches and tasting your way around vibrant markets. Encompassing the real focal points of Oregon, this classic journey through the land of award-winning grape-growing regions and the homeland of black bears and coyotes is one of extremes. From the Cascade Mountain-flanked town of Bend to the stream-laden walks of the Columbia River Gorge, this trip takes in fascinating landscapes, vibrant streets and pristine coastlines. The addition of a long coastal drive to the world-renowned Cannon Beach, a journey that takes a little under seven hours, makes this a highly customisable bucket-list-worthy adventure to the colloquially named “Beaver State”.
Spend time in the foodie hotspot of Portland, the largest city in Oregon but a place that still maintains the charm of a small town, from where you will head out on private guided tours of the Willamette Valley, the Columbia Gorge Waterfalls and Mount Hood. Award-winning cocktail bars and peculiar coffee establishments line the vivacious streets, while miles of hiking trails and kayaking routes await less than an hour outside of the city. Experience tastings at three carefully selected vineyards, learning all about the history of wine production in Oregon from your expert guide and hearing stories about the local area.
The combination of stunning mountains, evergreen forests and deep lakes makes Crater Lake National Park a diverse destination that doubles as a habitat for all sorts of wildlife that includes hummingbirds, black bears, coyotes and chipmunks. At 7,700-year-old, the crystal-clear Crater Lake is the deepest lake in the United States and was formed during the volcanic collapse of Mount Mazama. During the milder months, when the landscape is verdant green, paddle in the waters of the sapphire-blue lake to cool off after a day of hiking underneath the sun. In winter, the landscape is coated in lashings of pristine snow, making this a dream destination for ranger-guided snowshoeing.
Travel to Rogue River, perhaps staying in a riverside wooden cabin frequented by none other than Walt Disney himself. Toast marshmallows on an open fire, spend a lazy afternoon with your feet in the cool river perusing a good book, or go river-side cycling. During your time in this traditional and unpretentious region of Oregon, absorb the country charm and head out on a day of discovery with a wine-country picnic in tow. You might like to visit some of the many old-fashioned general stores, thought of as community hubs, to sample their trademark grilled sandwiches or craft beers.
Featuring one of the most notable landscapes in the Pacific Northwest, Cannon Beach is the highlight of the Oregon coastline and globally renowned as one of the world’s most scenic destinations. This small coastal town, with its long, sandy shoreline, is a creative and diverse spot with dozens of art galleries, restaurants and boutique shops. Peruse local shops, landmarks and the town’s historic monuments or visit the beautiful state parks up and down the shoreline. The iconic monolith of Haystack Rock that frames the coastline is a particular point of interest for keen photographers, while keen wildlife and nature enthusiasts will love to walk through the coastal rain forests to spot some of its seabirds.
