All vacationers in Oregon are impressed by its lush landscapes whether visiting the verdant valleys in the east, the Cascades, or the craggy coast of the Pacific Ocean. It is easy to imagine how Oregon drew the pioneers to it in the mid-19th Century in the Great Migration over the Oregon Trail. Its national park, Crater Lake, is a popular attraction visited by thousands of tourists every year. Hiking, kayaking, snowshoeing, scuba diving, snow boarding, downhill skiing, cross-country skiing, climbing, mountain biking, and hang gliding as well as hunting, horse back riding, and fishing are some of the adventures that can be found in the national forests and other natural recreational sites throughout Oregon. Wind surfers find the Columbia River Gorge beautiful and exciting. After adventure filled days, the visitors enjoy the amenities in Portland, Salem, its capital city, and the coastal resort cities where they can watch beautiful sunsets along Oregon's Pacific coast. Culture also abounds in Oregon where Ashland celebrates the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, Eugene has the Hult Center for the Performing Arts, Portland's Art Museum has a premier gallery which includes American Indian ceremonial objects and works by Northwest artists, and Salem's Hallie Ford Museum showcases a variety of artwork.
