15 Romantic Getaways In Oregon Perfect For Honeymoons

Oregon, in my opinion, is an underrated state with a lot to offer. While Portland is well known for the rugged coastlines that stretch for 363 miles, scenic mountains, sandy deserts, hot springs, waterfalls, and old forests are sometimes hidden gems and an afterthought.

When to visit Oregon

Oregon’s part of the country, the Pacific Northwest often gets a bad rep when it comes to weather. What most don’t know is that Oregon’s climate varies depending on season and location. In summer, there are plenty of tourists because of the warm weather. If you’re not so worried about your tan and would rather explore the mountains, fall is the best time to visit. The leaves are changing and the crisp air makes for the perfect hiking conditions.

As for winter, most of the state gets pretty cold and snow isn’t uncommon. Experts say that September is the best month to visit. With the combination of warm weather, not very much rain, and thinner crowds, you’ll have your pick of outdoor activities and scenic views. If you can’t make it in September, any other season will be just as adventurous in Oregon. Just remember to come prepared!
