John Muir described this area in 1864 as "A country of wonderful contrasts, hot deserts bordered by snow-laden mountains, cinders and ashes scattered on glacier-polished pavement, frost and fire working in the making of beauty". And truly, that is what this area is.

Nestled between the Coast Range and the Pacific Ocean, Newport has been a vacation hotspot since 1856 and one of our favorite places on the Oregon coast.
