Vacation Opportunities
Best in Your Own State
Portland tU This is the
time of the year when most
Oregon ians are thinking of
bitting the road again for a
well-earned vacation, many of
them to scatter to the four
corn en of the nation and some
of them overseas for a more
elaborate outing.
Some of them might wen re
member that right here in their
owa state are some of the at
tractions that annually lure up
to 3,000,000 tourists across the
Oregon border and have placed
the vacation industry third in
line on the state's economy
ranking just behind timber and
agriculture.
Here are some of the high
lights of an Oregon trip, if you
seed reminding:

you'll find plenty of activity

seasons or you may want to
try your luck on the bigger
salmon which migrate up
stream over falls and fish lad
ders to traditional spawning
grounds.
A near-record 'number of
spring Chinook passed through
fish facilities at Bonneville
dam on the Columbia east of
Portland.
Some of the finest trout
streams in the nation, includ
ing the Deschutes, North Ump
qua. Rogue, upper Willamette
and scores of smaller rivers
and creeks, are easily accessi
ble.
For the motorist, wild flow
ers including azaleas and rho
dodendrons color the road
side of Oregon, and several
mid-summer celebrations hon
or their presence. Biggest show
of all for flower lovers is Port
land's annual Rose Festival,
which is scheduled to start this
year on June 0. It winds up
June 12 in a grand floral pa
rade featuring the flower which
gained Oregon's largest city its
nickname, "City of Roses."
The skiing season is over,
but if you want to see how it's
dene by the experts, the Port
land festival features this year
a 15-story scaffold with artifi
cial snow for world champion
: Jumpers. And it's all within the
comparatively comfortable and
warm confines of the city's
Multnomah stadium. A water
carnival on the Willamette
'river also will be an attrac
tion.
Scenery lovers will want to
see famed Crater lake, an ex
tinct volcanic cone filled with
deep blue water, reachable
from the southern part of the
state through Medf ord or Kla
math Falls. They also will want
to view the Oregon coast and,
of course, visit Mt. Hood the
towering Cascade peak which
dominates the northwestern
sector of the state.
Mt. Hood offers its famed
Timberline lodge for those who
want luxury with their scen
ery. And it has a new "sky
way" an aerial tram or bus
which scoots along a cable from
government camp to timberline
over a landscape hitherto
barred to all but the most ad
venturous. The Columbia Gorge, where
the Northwest's greatest river
makes its dramatic break
through the Cascades to reach
the Pacific, also is a tourist
must The Columbia river high
way east of Portland is now a
water-level route, giving an
excellent view of the high wa
terfalls which drop off the Cas
cade bluffs into the Columbia.
Along the way, Bonneville dam
spans the Columbia, The Dalles
dam is under construction, ana
McNary dam is n earing comple
tion. Northeastern Oregon offers
the alpine-like Wallowa moun
tains with glacial features that
have given the area its "Switz
erland of America" name. Hells
Canyon on the Snake river,
which can be viewed from Hat
Point. Just beyond the Wallo-
was, is also something to take
your breath.
Pendleton, where the re
nowned Pendleton round-up
draws the nation's top cow
boys, is the center of a vast
"bread-basket" or Wheatland.
Central Oregon is known for
its sports hunting and fishing
and is a geologist's paradise
of fossils and ancient lava beds.
One town if you care for an
oddity is even named "Fossil."
Fossil, Oregon, that is.

where facilities are ample and
costs are moderate. In fact,
you'll rarely need reservations
anywhere in Oregon because
accommodations are plentiful,
except at the height of the sea
son in July and August
The atmosphere is informal
and you'll want to dress that
way, too if you decide that
Oregon is on your agenda this
summer. ' .
