Things to See - Oregon Guide

Bureau Of Land Management

The BLM manages nearly 16 million acres of Federal public land in Oregon for recreation, natural, scenic, scientific, and cultural protection. Recreational opportunities on the BLM lands include camping, sight seeing, fishing, hang-gliding, rock-hounding, hunting, rafting and boating.

The Rogue National Forest

The Rogue National Forest forest sprawls across the Central portion of Southern Oregon, partly overflowing into northern California. The forest contains approximately 400 miles of trails for hiking, climbing, biking, and horseback riding.
On the west, the forest includes the headwaters of the Applegate River, within the ancient and complex geology of the Siskiyou Mountains. This is a country of narrow canyons and high, steep ridges. The variety of environments includes open oak woodlands, dense conifer forests, and barren, rocky ridge-tops.
To the east, the forest contains the upper reaches of the Rogue River, located along the volcanic Cascade Range.

The Southern Cascades

The Southern Cascades tend to have fairly gentle relief, several deep canyons, such as the Middle Fork of the Rogue and the South Fork of Little Butte Creek. The area has Douglas Fir, Ponderosa Pine, Conifers, meadows, lakes, and meandering streams. This part of the forest contains Huckleberry Mountain, the ancestral berry-gathering ground of the Klamath Indians.

North Cascades Scenic Highway

The North Cascades Scenic Highway is the oldest in the nation. State Route 20 from Burlington to Twisp offers plenty of lakes and lots of places to hike or see a spectacular view.
The North Cascades Scenic Highway offers one of the best views of the mountain landscape, which includes the Sawtooth Mountain Range and the Cascade Range.

Outstanding views from Washington Pass Overlook, Slate Peak Vista, at 7,500 feet, and Buttermilk Butte.
