Go to Powell's main store downtown.
Check out the roses at the Rose Gardens.
Pittock Mansion
absolutely! and I will add it. I also forgot Enchanted Forest and my daughter is married to the owner and founder of it.
I was going to say Enchanted Forest! I know we're used to it, but if you haven't stopped in the Opera House lately, there's a long video about Roger and his story about creating the park and it's really interesting and inspirational. A great Oregon story.
And you just named another place to go in Salem. Reed Opera House
Haha Ashley was talking about the Opera House at Enchanted Forest :)
Silver Falls
I didn't even know there was an Opera House at Enchanted Forest. Guess you learn something new everyday.
There are many places to see around Bend. Three sites in close proximity just south of Bend are: a great view of the lava flows and the Cascades from the top of Lava Butte; go inside a lava tube at Lava River Cave; and the High Desert Museum.
I'm not an Oregonian, but I had a wonderful time there in August last year. Two things I recommend that aren't already mentioned: The Waffle Window (the bacon, brie and basil waffle is amazing) and visting Shaniko ghost town. Shaniko is truly a remarkable place to visit and I'd love to go back.
