Sisters: US20 at Santiam Pass
Built around a highway crossing, the Santiam Pass corridor grew into a key link across Oregon’s Cascade Range. US 20 follows the pass through the Willamette National Forest, connecting the central Oregon community of Sisters with the Willamette Valley to the west. The route traces a corridor long used to cross the mountains: the historic Santiam Wagon Road, completed in 1865, provided an early east–west connection. Dense conifer forest encloses the road, while the volcanic terrain of the central Cascades shapes this high-country passage. Santiam Pass also lies near Hoodoo, a recreation area, and forms part of the route between the high-desert country around Sisters and western Oregon.

Built around an early 20th-century sawmill, Sisters grew into a small Central Oregon community on the eastern flank of the Cascade Range. The town takes its name from the Three Sisters, a trio of volcanic peaks to the west, while Whychus Creek runs through the surrounding high-desert country. Sisters’ compact centre maintains a deliberately Western-style streetscape, reflecting local ranching and timber traditions. Each June, the Sisters Rodeo, held since 1940, brings competitors and spectators to one of Oregon’s longest-running rodeo events. Mountain passes, trails and the Three Sisters Wilderness are close by. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Central Oregon.

The Cascade Range and high desert define much of Oregon, shaping a state where forestry, farming, hydropower and outdoor recreation are central to regional life. The Columbia River forms much of its northern border, while the Willamette Valley supports fertile farmland between the Cascades and the Coast Range. Oregon’s Pacific shore is marked by long beaches, headlands and working coastal towns, and Crater Lake preserves the deep caldera of Mount Mazama in the south. Oregon City is associated with the historic end of the Oregon Trail, a reminder of the migration that transformed the nineteenth-century American West.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
