What are the best parks in Oregon?
Waterfalls in Oregon are great, but what about the best parks in Oregon:
John Day Fossil Beds National Monument: Located in Mitchell in the east-central section of the state, here, you’ll be able to see fossils from over 40 million years ago. And while you’re here, be sure to take in a hike or two!
Newberry National Volcanic Monument: Thousands of years ago, the volcano erupted outside of Bend. Follow its lava flow or explore Paulina Lake or East Lake. Be sure to plan at least a day here; I was bummed to only have a few hours in my schedule.
