It’s not the most visited or well-known State in the Union, and Oregon’s all the better for it. Vast and breathtaking landscapes when you explore Oregon, so if you want to get away from the crowds and visit one stunning destination after another, Discover Oregon could be the road trip for you. Just keep it to yourself; we don’t want the masses to find out. 

Road road trip highlights:

  • Start with two nights in the eternally hip city of Portland.
  • Drive the wild and unspoilt Oregon Coastline from top to toe.
  • Don’t tell anyone, but we included a Californian National Park in this route, as Redwood NP is just over the state-line.
  • Crater Lake National Park is a unique and must-see destination.
  • Visit Mount Hood and cruise down the Columbia River Gorge to stand below Multnomah Falls.
  • What’s included? Direct flights with a premier carrier like British Airways, accommodation to your desired standard and length of stay, car rental and a detailed road trip pack.
