Oregon is a dramatic land of many changes. From the rugged Oregon seacoast, the high mountain passes of the Oregon Cascades, the lush greenery and magnificent waterfalls, to the lava and Ponderosa pines of the high desert, Oregon's natural beauty has been preserved for all to experience and enjoy.

Hike along an Oregon beach in the early morning and watch for whales. Enjoy the solitude of miles and miles of Oregon's public beaches. The historic Columbia River Highway is the best way to view the magnificent vistas and waterfalls of this area. There are also 39 wilderness areas, 14 national forestsand Crater Lake, Oregon's national park, for residents and visitors alike to enjoy.

Oregon is a state divided by mountains. The Cascade Mountains stretch across the entire Mt. Bachelor north/south length of Oregon, producing areas with two entirely different climates. West of the Cascades, a mild, moist marine climate prevails, while east of the Cascades, Oregon's high desert country can be scorching hot or bitterly cold. In between the Cascades and the coast, the Coast Range defines the lush growing land of the Willamette Valley from the marine coast area.

The forests of Oregon are strongly identified with the state. Sixty percent of Oregon's forests are publicly owned. West of the Cascades, Douglas fir is the primary conifer species, with Sitka spruce and western hemlock found mainly on the coast. East of the Cascades, the main species is Ponderosa pine. Other eastern Oregon trees are larch, lodgepole pine and western juniper. Broadleaf trees include big leaf maple, Oregon white oak and madrone. Pungent smelling myrtlewood grows in southern Oregon.

The wildflowers of Oregon are a special treat for the visitor. Driving, biking or especially hiking anywhere in Oregon can lead you by a myriad of wildflowers, both large and small. The vivid blue of delphiniums, the quirky petals of an inside-out flower, a bright splash of Indian paintbrush or the breathtaking view of a field of glacier lilies - all these and much more can be seen in Oregon.

The wildlife of Oregon is diverse. Oregon's state animal, the beaver, gives us the nickname of the Beaver State. The beaver is also America's largest rodent. Oregon has herds of Roosevelt elk and black tailed deer in western part of the state, and Rocky Mountain elk and mule deer east of the Cascades. In the high desert country of southeastern Oregon, there is a refuge for pronghorn antelope. Smaller animals in Oregon include skunks, raccoons, chipmunks, squirrels and opossums. Mountain lions, black bears and bobcats are also found in Oregon's forests.

As part of the Pacific Flyway, Oregon has many species of birds. The Klamath basin hosts the largest number of overwintering bald eagles in the lower 48 states, and is known as Oregon's premier bird watching area. Some of the species that can be seen are golden eagle red-tailed and rough-legged hawks, Canada geese, many duck species, herons, gulls, terns and grebes. Wildlife preserves such as Malheur and Findley are stopover points for Canada and snow geese, whistling swans, and the rare sandhill crane.
