Escaping your routine in search of real adventure couldn't be easier. The Eugene, Cascades & Coast region is easy to get to and offers unique experiences with fewer crowds.

Thrillseekers love heart-pounding dune buggy rides, coastal windsurfing and white water rafting in the Cascade Mountains. Those searching for a milder adventure come for the cool mist of a waterfall on a summer hike, stargazing in a lava field at Dee Wright Observatory and drift boating on one of the world's purest lakes. 

There are so many things to do! Performing arts take center stage in theaters and venues throughout the many communities while live music fills up smaller venues from bars to bookstores. Oregon's great outdoors is an integral part of the local lifestyle. The Eugene, Cascades & Coast region stretches from the wild forests of the Cascade Mountains, down into the South Willamette Valley and ends on the cliffs and beaches of the Oregon Coast. 

Enjoy farm-to-table bounty at local restaurants, catch a live show and shop at artisan markets.
