For those who enjoy hiking and adventure on their travels, Oneonta Gorge in the Columbus River Gorge, Oregon, is the perfect place to visit. A marvelous trek for the venturesome, Oneonta is a challenge as visitors walk a mile up a creek bed (sometimes chest deep in water), work their way over a logjam, and arrive at lower falls. Encouraged to enjoy the outdoors and all this astonishing natural formation has to offer, many make the trip during summer weather to avoid colder water and journey past the lush moss and vegetation that make this destination picture perfect. However, those who prefer privacy are encouraged to avoid going on weekends as this unbelievable hotspot is often packed with awe-struck globetrotters.
