Oregon City

Oregon City is kind of a big deal; it’s the original capital of the Oregon Territory.

History lives in the city’s pioneer museums, landmarks and North America’s only “vertical street.” And craft beer and cuisine is being reinvented in downtown every day. You also can’t miss the powerful Willamette Falls — seriously, it’s right there — and it may inspire you to bike, hike or kayak, which is fine by us.
