Oregon has giant evergreens, multicolored moss, snowcapped peaks, a rugged
coastline, acres of orchards, and magnificent flowers. It also has thousands
of acres of forestland where you can follow the trails on foot, on horseback,
or in a four-wheel-drive vehicle. In Newport, you can visit the resident octopus
at the Mark O. Hatfield Marine Science Center marvel at the new Oregon Coast
Aquarium, or watch the shrimp boats come in. And at Florence, you can observe
the sea lion rookery and its hundreds of inhabitants. (Courtesy of Rand McNally
