The New Oregon Quarter: Enter A Road Trip Dream

(NAPSI)-Oregon lives by its slogan: "We Love Dreamers." The state has more scenic byways than any other state, making it a road trip dream.

Before planning your next road trip you may want to pick up a shiny new Oregon quarter, which features Oregon's own Crater Lake, the deepest lake in North America, on its reverse side. The state offers many scenic byways in seven distinct regions.

Southern Oregon. The area is home to Crater Lake and several wildlife refuges where bald eagles spend the winter. Whitewater enthusiasts and anglers seek adventure on the area's rivers, while theater lovers come for the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. Medford is home to the gourmet food gift retailer Harry and David (www.harryanddavid.com) with distinctive gifts that include world-famous pears and peaches. For more information, visit www.sova.org.

The Coast. Nearly 400 miles of Oregon's beaches and dunes are all open to the public. The spectacular coastline includes Heceta Head Lighthouse, America's most photographed lighthouse. For more information visit www.visit theoregoncoast.com.

Portland. Downtown Portland boasts an outstanding collection of cast-iron and terracotta architecture, a nationally acclaimed art museum and a vibrant culinary community. For more information visit www.travelportland.com.

Mt. Hood/Columbia River Gorge. Mt. Hood, the tallest of Oregon's Cascade peaks, stands watch over the awe-inspiring Columbia River Gorge. The often-photographed glacier-glazed peak is home to year-round skiing and snowboarding. For more information visit www.mthoodterritory.com.

Willamette Valley. Flanked by the Coast Range and the Cascades, this scenic valley is best known for its quality fruits, flowers, herbs, Christmas trees and increasingly for its wine. For more information visit www.oregon winecountry.org.

Central Oregon. Central Oregon's high desert landscape offers almost constant views of snowcapped Cascade peaks and features geologic marvels such as Smith Rock State Park, Newberry National Volcanic Monument and several Lava Lands attractions. For more information check out www.VisitCentralOregon.com.

Eastern Oregon. This vast region includes Hell's Canyon, the deepest river gorge in North America, and the pristine Eagle Cap Wilderness. For more information visit www.eova.com.
