When looking for an Oregon travel guide, consider the state’s motto: Alis volat propriis. Adopted by the legislature in 1854, and then again in 1987, it means “she flies with her own wings”.

It’s reflective of the state’s independence and innovationand can’t help but inspire thoughts of eagle wings, stretched wide, soaring over an endless and varied landscape. From the Columbia River gorge, across the Willamette Valley, to the Oregon Coast and Wallowa Mountains in the east, the state’s environment is as vibrant and strong as its independent spirit.

As the motto suggests, the sky is the limit when looking for things to do in Oregon. That’s why we’ve created this Oregon travel guide.
