Exploring the Best Things to Do in Oregon

10 Willamette National Forest

It's hard to imagine a prettier place than Willamette National Forest. This vast forest along the west side of the Cascade Range encompasses 1.7 million acres. It's packed with incredible mountains, rivers, and volcanoes. You can visit Salt Creek Falls, which is the second highest waterfall in Oregon, visit Dee Wright Observatory, and hike the myriad of trails this forest has to offer.
