Travelers can easily meander their way along the vivacious Pacific on Highway 101, one of the first National Scenic Byways. The 363 miles (560 km) of spectacular Oregon coastline are dotted with historic lighthouses, cozy beach towns, and breathtaking ocean panoramas.

Highlights:
- See a rainbow of color when the yellow alder leaves, the orange of the maples and the reds of the dogwoods decorate Highway 126, connecting Eugene to the Pacific Coast.
- The Sunset and Wilson River Highways (Highways 26, 6, and 101) offer a leisurely day’s loop drive from Portland to the northern beaches and back through the rolling Coast Range, resplendent in fall golds, reds and greens.
