Things to do in Oregon?

[Red88]

It looks like I'm headed up your way this summer with my mother. She has looked into a few brochures and such looking for ideas of what to do. I felt like I'd ask here to see if anyone knows of fun things to do. I want to do like a river rafting thing for sure. Any other ideas, let me know. Anything that doesn't require much standing (mom can't stand for too long), but walking (hikes, <2-3 miles) is okay.

Thaaaanks, R3v.

Check out the Umpqua National Forest via Diamond Lake HWY: Steamboat Creek, Watson Falls, Crater Lake, Diamond Lake, Twin Lakes..

I like to think of Oregon as the highway between Washington and California.

1. Smoke pot in Gold Beach, it is a beautiful little coastal town, just across the border
2. Smoke pot in Portland, one of the coolest cities on the west coast.
3. Head out to Bend, smoke some pot there. Incredible scenery, wonderful people.
4. Go see the Spruce Goose...maybe some some pot.
5. The Rose Gardens are beautiful, if you are smoking pot. Take the MAX out there, its cool.
6. My favorite restaurant in the whole world is in Lincoln City: Wildflowers. You should smoke some pot there. The food is amazing.
7. Wallowa Lake Tramway is possibly the best place to smoke pot in the entire state!
8. Smoke some pot and then go to Dus Grill on Sandy Blvd: best teriyaki on earth.
9. Possibly the most enlightening place in the world to smoke pot is Powells Books.
10. Biggest fireworks display west of the Mississippi is at Fort Vancouver, and is simultaneous with the Portland Blues Festival and is certainly one of the best things to do while smoking pot.

Oh yeah, pot smoking is one of the main attractions of Oregon.

I think this year they dont have enough funding so its not on /\ cancelled last year to right?


I suggest visiting at least 1 mountain. Mt hood or Helens (washington)
Going to the coast. I think seaside is the closest. Walk around Downtown portland? BS with r3v members?

Luke, i had no idea you were a participant... i'd have made you feel a lot more at home during your brief visit, had i known... then you could have added "smoke pot in seth's house while listening to crazy guy talk about random shit."


you forgot "smoke pot at silver falls", however... that's kind of a must.

that and.. go eat at screen door cafe, visit burnside skatepark.

Natural beauty abounds; Oregon is very scenic due to the high amount of precipitation. There are lots of great scenic opportunities.

Check out Multnomah Falls in the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area:

Nope, I don't. Was a man of the cloth for many many years but no mas.

I just thought it might be funny, as so many people in Cali think Oregon is nothing but pot smokers

I thought I heard the fireworks were back on this year, almost certain of that.

Oregon Live: Fireworks show will return to Fort Vancouver this Fourth of July

For those of you who won't read it, it says they are back this year, and that instead of being shot off a barge in the center of the river, they are going to be shot off on a launch pad in the air field there!

Looks like there will be a $5 admission per adult though. Not like it isn't going to a good cause (more fireworks next year!)
