Must sees in Oregon?

[Ms3r4ISU]

I know this is fairly last minute, but thought I'd ask this worldly group anyway. We're heading to Oregon July 4 (third time in 3 years, but mostly have been visiting relatives and them driving us around.) What should we see/where should we go July 5-7 around the Portland to The Dalles area?
Also, any recommendations for coastal must-visit locations or anywhere else in the valley?

Thanks in advance for any help. PM is fine, too.

Search for One-Eyed Willy's treasure? But watch out for the Fratelli family.

Rogue Brewery in Portland is pretty sweet--good beer and good eats, as well. Only other thing I can recommend is running down to the coast. Can't remember the name of the town, but there's a huge rock on a beach there that was used in "The Goonies." Really cool little town and the beach is GORGEOUS, especially at sunset.

Edit: Cannon Beach, OR is where that is. Definitely worth the jaunt to get there.

Voodoo Doughnut.

National Volcano Monument park in the Bend area. MUST SEE - especially the obsidian fields. Not just a quick jaunt from Portland though. Mt St Helens another MUST SEE as well. Portland rocks in general and Cannon Beach is a nice beach destination about an hour or so from Portland.

AKA: Haystack Rock. I enjoyed climbing to the top of Multnomah Falls. Voodoo Doughnuts...yes please. Grab some spicy cheese fritters at Salvador Molly's.

If you go cannon beach route, check out hug point. Also if you do go to Astoria, hit Bowpicker's fish and chips. It's awesome

There are some side roads around Seaside and along the coast where you can drive onto the beach as well, great thing to do and build a campfire.

You could try Casa Diablos Vegan Strip Club. Sounds interesting.

1. Crater Lake
2. Bend....many breweries.
3. Waterfalls....take your pick of a bunch.
4. Oregon Coast....take your pick.
5. Portland....strip club capital of the USA. Take your pick.
6. Crater Lake
7. The Gorge is ok.
8. I have heard Voodoo Donuts is good.....but then again, I havent been there.
9. Mt. Hood.

Good luck...and let us know what you liked!

Multinomah Falls is great. Eugene is a fun summer town as well. If your in Portland try to hit up a Portland Timbers game. Incredible sports atmosphere.

My grandparents live in Florence. It is such a beautiful place along the coast. That's where the dunes start and there is also Haveta Head lighthouse and cove. All the coastal towns are awesome in their own little way.

The hipsters in Portland are a must-see.

You could also swing by Eugene and see if they'll pay you to play football.
