The State of Jefferson Scenic Byway in northern California and southern Oregon has an interesting history. The region declared its intent to secede from California and Oregon on Thursday, November 27, 1941 (and every Thursday thereafter). State of Jefferson is a 108-mile route across Klamath National Forest between Yreka, California, and O'Brien, Oregon.

The Frazier Farmstead Museum in Milton-Freewater, Oregon, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The site features an 1892 home that contains a collection of antique furnishings. Also on site is a barn, carriage house and several other buildings that were an integral part of a turn-of-the-century working farm.

In the Columbia Gorge alone there are 77 waterfalls (and that's just on the Oregon side), including Multnomah Falls, which, at 620 feet, is the nation's second-highest year-round waterfall. It's also the most-visited natural attraction in Oregon. Select this link to read about three less-traveled hiking trails that lead to other amazing waterfalls.
