Oregon’s 50
Best
Cities for Sleep
The Beaver State is one of the most beautiful and geographically varied areas of the country. Oregon’s diverse terrain includes a rocky coastline, dense forests, high desert, and volcanoes. The state was inhabited by indigenous tribes for at least 15,000 years before it was explored by the Spanish and English. Oregon joined the Union as the 33rd state in 1859.
Things to know about The Beaver State:
- Oregon has just one national park — Crater Lake National Park in the south central part of the state
- The Columbia River Gorge is considered one of the best places in the world to windsurf
- Oregon is the only state with an official state nut, the hazelnut
- Portland’s Rose Test Garden was founded in 1917 and features more than 500 varieties of roses
- Dormant volcano Mount Hood stands 11,239 tall and is the tallest peak in Oregon
A state with so much natural beauty sounds like a great place for slumber. So, which part of Oregon is the best for sleep? How do this state’s small towns stack up against the big cities? Let’s dig into our list of the best cities for sleep in Oregon and find out.
