Here are three Oregon vacation ideas that you might want to consider:

Idea #1: The High Desert Museum just south of Bend in central Oregon is a terrific destination if you love wildlife, history, nature, art and cultural studies. The High Desert region extends from eastern Washington State through central and eastern Oregon, into Nevada and California. It is a region that is experiencing rapid growth that challenges its fragile resources. The Museum helps shed light on the diverse ways development and other human activities have affected the High Desert in the past and continue to affect it today.

Idea #2:  Start Your Tour of the John Day Fossil Beds at the Thomas Condon Paleontology Center . The John Day Fossil Beds National Monument is one of the most impressive outdoors attractions in the state of Oregon. You can explore trails, go river rafting and even enjoy an afternoon of fishing at the John Day Fossil Beds, but plan to spend at least a few hours learning about the amazing fossils located here, too!

Idea #3: Discover a Magical Attraction in Hood River: The International Museum of Carousel Art. If you’re traveling in northwest Oregon and you happen to be a fan of carousels, you won’t want to miss the opportunity to view the world’s largest collection of antique carousel animals and carousel art. Travel from Portland east on I-84 about 70 miles and you’ll come to Hood River. More than 150 carousel animals are exhibited at the International Museum of Carousel Art here.
