“She Flies With Her Own Wings”

Oregon is a state located in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, known for its diverse landscapes ranging from rugged coastlines and dense forests to high deserts and volcanic mountains. It is part of the Western U.S., sharing its northern border with Washington, which is largely defined by the winding Columbia River. On the eastern side, the Snake River forms much of the boundary with Idaho. To the south, Oregon borders California and Nevada. The state’s geography contributes to its reputation for natural beauty and outdoor recreation, with notable sites such as Crater Lake National Park, Mount Hood, and the Oregon Coast drawing visitors year-round.

The Willamette Valley, stretching from Portland in the north to Eugene in the south, is a fertile agricultural area and home to much of the state’s population. Oregon’s economy is shaped by sectors like technology, agriculture, forestry, and tourism. The state is also recognized for its vibrant cultural scene, progressive policies, and a strong emphasis on environmental sustainability. Major cities include Portland, Eugene, Salem (the capital), and Bend. With its unique blend of landscapes and cultures, Oregon offers a distinctive experience that reflects the broader spirit of the Pacific Northwest.
