Wonders of Oregon by Motorhome

Fly from the UK to Seattle, USA.

Your adventure begins in the vibrant city of Seattle, where coffee culture, cool music, and coastal views create an irresistible mix. Take a stroll through Pike Place Market, watch the famous fishmongers at work, and sip a latte where Starbucks first began. The iconic Space Needle offers panoramic city and mountain views, while the waterfront buzzes with energy and flavour. Seattle’s laid-back vibe and creative pulse set the perfect tone for the journey ahead—urban adventure meets Pacific Northwest charm. 

Your Oregon journey begins in the majestic Columbia River Gorge, a land of thundering waterfalls and winding scenic drives. Follow the Historic Columbia River Highway and stop for photo ops at Multnomah Falls, Oregon’s most famous cascade. Explore trails that weave through lush forest canyons and enjoy riverside evenings under starlit skies. With the Columbia River glimmering nearby, this stop perfectly blends natural beauty and peaceful camping. 

Nestled in Oregon’s remote northeast corner, Wallowa Lake is a hidden gem framed by the towering Wallowa Mountains—often called the “Swiss Alps of Oregon.” Spend your days kayaking across glassy waters, riding the Wallowa Lake Tramway for jaw-dropping views, or exploring the charming town of Joseph, known for its art galleries and frontier spirit. This is Oregon at its most peaceful, where eagles soar overhead and campfire nights feel like something out of a storybook. 

Journey through gold rush history as you make your way to Baker City, where time seems to slow down amid Victorian architecture and sweeping mountain backdrops. Visit the Oregon Trail Interpretive Center for a fascinating look at pioneer life, or stroll along Main Street for a taste of small-town Americana. The nearby Elkhorn Mountains offer scenic trails and quiet moments for reflection. With its mix of history, charm, and rugged surroundings, Baker City captures the pioneer spirit that shaped the West—and provides a cosy overnight pause before heading deeper into Oregon’s natural wonders.

Welcome to Bend, Oregon’s adventure capital and craft beer paradise! This mountain town buzzes with outdoor energy—from hiking and mountain biking to paddling down the Deschutes River. Don’t miss the Cascade Lake Moonlight & Starlight Canoe excursion, where the water glows under the night sky—a truly magical experience. After a day of exploring volcanic landscapes or sampling local brews, unwind beneath Tumalo’s starry canopy. 

Prepare to be awe-struck by the deep, sapphire waters of Crater Lake—the crown jewel of Oregon’s natural wonders. Formed by a collapsed volcano, this is the deepest lake in the U.S. and one of the most spectacular sights in the Pacific Northwest. Drive the Rim Road for panoramic views, hike to breathtaking overlooks, or simply sit in silence and take it all in. At night, the stars shimmer over the still waters, creating a sense of wonder that’s hard to put into words. Crater Lake isn’t just a destination—it’s a moment of pure, natural magic.

Cruise into Grants Pass, a friendly riverside town where the Rogue River reigns supreme. This laid-back stop invites you to kick back and soak up Oregon’s small-town charm. Take a jet boat ride for a thrill, wander through antique shops, or grab a bite at one of the cosy diners serving up hearty Northwest fare. The town’s motto, “It’s the climate,” says it all—warm days, cool nights, and an easy-going vibe. After days of wilderness adventure, Grants Pass offers a perfect pause to relax and recharge before your final drive to the coast.

Your journey ends at the Oregon Coast, where dramatic cliffs, rolling dunes, and crashing waves steal the show. Gleneden Beach is a peaceful seaside haven—perfect for long walks on the sand, beachcombing for agates, and watching fiery sunsets over the Pacific. Venture to nearby Depoe Bay to spot whales or visit Newport for its historic waterfront charm. It’s a picture-perfect finale to your Oregon odyssey: fresh ocean air, cosy coastal nights, and memories made mile after mile.

Drive from Gleneden Beach to Seattle, drop off your motorhome, then fly to the UK.
