State Bucket List
Oregon's outdoor adventures span the deepest lake in the US, the most productive commercial fishing port on the Pacific Coast, and a river corridor that delivers Class IV rafting and Oregon Caves in the same afternoon. Crater Lake's 33-mile rim trail circles a caldera filled with the bluest water you'll ever see -- the result of a volcanic eruption 7,700 years ago that created a natural wonder with no equal in North America.
Newport is the heart of Oregon's commercial fishing industry and the best place to book a charter for Pacific halibut, lingcod, and Dungeness crab. The Bayfront district celebrates the catch with some of the freshest seafood on the coast. Grants Pass, gateway to the Rogue River, combines jet boat trips, Class IV rafting, and a downtown farmers market into one of the most complete outdoor-and-food destinations in the Pacific Northwest.
These four Oregon adventures are drawn from Outdoor Taste + Tour's reporting along the coast and through the Cascades.
Crater Lake is the deepest lake in the US and the bluest water you'll ever see. The 33-mile Rim Trail circles the caldera - hike a section for views that look almost too vivid to be real.

Grants Pass is the launching point for Rogue River jet boat trips, Class IV rafting, and the Oregon Caves. The downtown farmers market and Taprock Northwest Grill make it a complete outdoor-and-food destination.
Oregon Dungeness crab is internationally recognized as one of the finest seafood delicacies in the world. Buy them live off the dock in Newport or Astoria, steam them yourself, and eat them with nothing but butter.
