Oregon’s 50 most beautiful places
23. Oneonta Gorge
People flock to Oneonta Gorge for good reason: Even though you have to wade to get in, the moss-covered canyon walls, clear water and towering waterfall at the end are like a scene out of a fairy tale.
NOTE: The damage to Oneonta Gorge from the Eagle Creek fire is not yet clear, and the area is currently closed to the public.

22. International Rose Test Garden
The International Rose Test Garden is the pride and joy of Portland, with more than 10,000 rose bushes of 650 different varieties. The garden first opened in 1917 to showcase the flower that had already become synonymous with the city, and today the park attracts about 700,000 visitors every year.
