Want to take in the spectacular beauty of blooming wildflowers? Take a drive to Mosier Plateau in Eastern Gorge, Oregon. Your road trip to see wildflowers will be well worth your drive!

We Oregonians put up with a long rainy season but that’s okay. We know this rain is how we get to live in such a verdant state blessed with spectacular forests, meadows, tree-lined streets, rushing rivers, and clear blue lakes. And while Oregon is gorgeous country all year long, there’s nothing quite like the magic of spotting a field or hillside ablaze in bright flowers surrounded by all that greenery. At Mosier Plateau, you’ll see swaths of golden yellow, a range of purples and blues, and sweet white blooms. And it’s all set in a scenic hilltop landscape overlooking the gorge.

A road trip to Mosier Plateau is the perfect way to immerse yourself in Oregon's spring and summer wildflower season.
