Of all the places we have been, we have not seen beauty that surpassed that found in the State of Oregon.   State Capitol/Salem From the beautiful Pacific region, where fisherman cast their nets, to the verdant mountains and valleys, Oregon has much to offer to please the palate and the eye. Agriculture and forestry are major industries in Oregon.  Photo to left was taken at Silver Falls State Park. In western Oregon, wineries and vineyards dot the hillsides.  Wine tasting in the Willamette Valley is always a treat. A variety of other fruits and vegetables are also grown in abundance. Pear orchards blooming in southern Oregon are pictured below. Oregon is also home to beautiful lakes and State parks.  Crater Lake (right) in southern Oregon is one of the wonders of the world and should be on the travel itinerary for anyone visiting the west coast of the United States.  Wallowa Lake (below) in eastern Oregon is also a must see.
