Have you been to Oregon's Proxy Falls? Along the enchanting McKenzie Pass you can hop out and hike a 1.5-mile loop trail through an ancient lava field. Here, one stream cascades into two separate shimmering veils dropping 226 feet. While the water pooled at the foot of the falls seems to disappear, it's actually sinking through the porous lava into the ground. Make plans to head out soon, since the highway closes in the winter. Tag someone you’d take to Proxy Falls. 🌲💚

If you've ever grabbed a corn dog at a fair, you might have the Oregon Coast to thank. More than 80 years after George and Versa Boyington turned a rainy-day problem into one of the country's most iconic handheld foods, the Original Pronto Pup is still serving their signature batter recipe right where it all began.

Whether you're a Pronto Pup purist or branching out with a cheesy pup or pickle pup, this is one Oregon Coast tradition that's worth pulling over for. Have you tried this spot?
