Iconic National Parks
Montana attractions include two of the country’s most stunning national parks—famous Yellowstone, which it shares with Wyoming, and giant Glacier at the Canadian border. East of Yellowstone is Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument, where Custer made his famous “last stand” against the Lakota Indians.
River Gorge Road Trip
Take a road trip through the magnificent Columbia River Gorge—and the 75 miles of national scenic highway from Troutdale to The Dalles. Your drive will take you from Crown Point, where you can take in the panorama of the mighty Columbia and the stunning “waterfall corridor.” In the town of Hood River, you can get your first taste of outdoor Oregonian adventure by trying out windsurfing, kiteboarding or parasailing.
Bountiful Coastline
Head up the Pacific coastline to experience the Oregon Coast—all 363 miles of it. Think of a trip to the Coast as an opportunity to tiptoe into tide pools or watch for breaching whales. Surfing and kite surfing are the local water sports here while golfing and winetasting is made even better when paired with incredible ocean views. Hit the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area near Florence and go “sand boarding” down the largest expanse of coastal sand dunes in North America.
Oregon Hotels
It’s appropriate that Oregon’s name starts with an “O” because that’s the sound you’ll make each time you approach one of the state’s seven amazing wonders. Check out Choice Hotels for great rates, rewards and travel-essential amenities.
See the Natural Beauty of the Beaver State
The state’s top attractions are called the “Seven Wonders of Oregon,” a local twist on the esteemed seven natural wonders of the world. From its stunning glacier-capped mountains to the depths of a jaw-dropping river gorge, Oregon is a dream destination for adventure and activity. Simply add a helping of world-class wines, cuisine and culture for those days when milder pursuits are on your itinerary.
