Four of the most prominent mountainous peaks in the United States are located in the state. There is truly something in Oregon for every member of your family.

Temperatures are classified as mild but vary substantially due to the geographic features of the Pacific Ocean and the Cascade Range. Winters are generally mild and wet West of the Cascade Range due to the proximity of the Pacific Ocean while the eastern side of the Cascade Range allow for the abundance of clear and calm weather.
