"We usually fly into the..." Oregon Transportation Tip by slabeaume

We usually fly into the Portland airport. There's another airport you may want to fly into if you're staying more south--EUgene, but it's quite a small airport. You may be changing planes in Portland to get there. Sit on the left side of the plane (facing the front of the plane) for spectacular views of Mt. Hood when descending!
Oregon is still pretty much a wilderness. And quite large! From Portland to the California border is approximately 250 miles. To go from the coast to the eastern border is quite a bit more. Although I'm sure you can find tour busses from Portland to parts of the coast or Mt. Hood, I'd recommend renting a car so you can pull off into the many state parks at will.

There's also an excellent system of bike paths (usually just marked shoulders on the highway). We always see lots of bikers in the summer.
