Are you interested in visiting our state? In recent years, our little home in the Pacific Northwest has gotten a lot of attention.
We’re flattered. People can’t seem to say enough about it. And a lot of the things they’ve been saying are true. But let’s not lose our heads over this. Oregon is a very special place. And we’re glad you like it. But it’s just a place with a bunch of mountains and lakes and trees and beaches and those kinds of things.
That said, we do want you to visit. Really, we do. But please, don’t all come at once. Maybe just a few of you at a time.
It’s easier to get to know one another that way.

Where is Oregon, anyway?
Not familiar with U.S. geography? Oregon is on the West Coast, right between Washington and California. Some people think it’s the best thing about the West Coast, and of course they’re right.
Made up of seven diverse regions, Oregon has the ocean, mountains, valleys, high desert, cities, small towns, and almost everything in between.

Is November a good time to visit Ashland?
If you visit in early November, check out the Ashland Culinary Festival. And to make a weekend out of it, the Oregon Shakespeare Festival often has discounted tickets on plays during late fall.
