They were an innovation as so little had been done by any state in the Union. The Oregon parks system owes its beginning to the thought of highway beautification advocated by many leaders of the state, including the Governors, the early State Highway Commissioners and Highway Engi- neers.

  • Oregon Coast Adventures Summary
    Oregon Coast Adventures Summary by Pete & Christina King Updated April 22, 2021 This is not a river story but a guide to the Oregon Coast - one of our favorite places to visit. Yes, we pass by some whitewater rivers along our coastal travels but have never run any rivers in Oregon or California. Friends and family have asked why we keep returning again and again, this guide attempts to explain why. Unfortunately, this guide only gives you a taste of Oregon, there is much more to the coast than we have been able to capture here. Enjoy! Distance: It is approximately 3,700 miles round trip from Buena Vista, CO to the Oregon Coast and back. We typically go from Astoria (south on Hwy 101) to San Francisco and home through Lake Tahoe. It is a long way there and back but slow down and enjoy the time you spend on the coast. We usually drive quickly across Colorado, Utah, Idaho and Oregon and then slow down dramatically once we get to the Columbia River Gorge. Aire and Cascade Outfitters (Maravia) are fun stops in Boise which can break up the trip. Once you reach Hwy 101 in Oregon, unless you are a logging truck or large RV, my advice is to give way to these big rigs. They will not shift over and will win if they hit you. We also prefer to travel from the north to south to enjoy the "ocean" side vistas on the highway lane closest to the ocean. Lastly, we get to end the trip in San Francisco (the big city) after weeks of beaches mostly to ourselves.
