Condé Nast Traveler, a travel magazine and website, recently released its 50 Most Beautiful Places in America, with two Oregon destinations appearing on the list.
Here’s what to know about the most beautiful places Oregon has to offer, according to Condé Nast Traveler.
Cannon Beach named one of the 50 most beautiful places in America
Condé Nast Traveler named Cannon Beach as one of the most beautiful places in America, calling it an “essential pit stop off Highway 101” and “one of the most beautiful beaches in the country.”
The beauty of Cannon Beach is well known in Oregon, and somewhat famous outside the state due to movies like “Twilight” and “The Goonies” being filmed there.
Most recognizable, and specifically noted by the magazine, is the 235-foot Haystack Rock that towers over the Pacific Ocean tides.
Crater Lake named one of the 50 most beautiful places in America by Condé Nast Traveler
Condé Nast Traveler recognized Crater Lake as one of the most beautiful places in America, noting that its pristine waters and depth give the lake its beauty.
Not only is Crater Lake the deepest lake in the America, with depths reaching up to 1,943 feet, or 592 meters, according to the National Park Service, but the magazine pointed out the lake’s “clarity and intense blue hue” caused by hundreds of years of glacial runoff and precipitation.
Crater Lake National Park also was recently recognized for the view of its night sky and was named one of the best U.S. national parks for stargazing.
How to visit: Crater Lake National Park is in south central Oregon approximately 73 miles northeast of Medford. It is open year-round and requires an entry fee or a National Park pass to visit.
