Eastern Oregon
Visitors spend $391 million in Eastern Oregon, which leads to the direct employment of 6,100 locals.
Eastern Oregon’s got a little bit of everything: wide-open skies, sagebrush plains, remote ski slopes, rivers teeming with steelhead and don’t forget the craft beer. History buffs will delight in wagon ruts from the Oregon Trail, vibrant prehistoric fossil beds and eerie ghost towns. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg in Oregon’s “wild west.”
