Crater Lake National Park
Crater Lake National Park is an incredible feat of nature. After erupting, a mountain collapsed in on itself to form a crater. It filled with glacial runoff over time to create the bluest lake you will ever see. Crater Lake has hiking trails, and island you can visit, and mountains you can climb. The lake and surrounding mountains make good witnesses to any wedding.
Mt. Hood
Mount Hood is a snow capped stratovolcano that can be seen from anywhere in Portland. The mountain makes a fine mountaineering expedition, and has countless beautiful locations to be viewed from. This can include a meadow or a lake- a fine place to say your vows.

The Oregon Coast
The Oregon Coast is made up of rugged, sandy beaches that are full of iconic rock formations. You can get married on the sand, on a cliff side, or in the water (if you are daring). The Coast is also home to lush rainforests, the cutest fishing towns, and you can’t forget about Tillamook Farms. An Oregon Coast adventure would be perfect for any elopement.
Smith Rock State Park
Smith Rock State Park is a climber’s paradise with scenic overlooks and a canyon cut by a raging river. You can climb a few routes, slackline, hike, or mountain bike to experience the park. These towers of compressed volcanic ash are truly awe inspiring.
