Overview of Eastern Oregon Vacation Rentals

Visit Snow-Topped Mountains and Deserts in One Vacation at Eastern Oregon Vacation Rentals

From its early history as a remote, inaccessible region, Eastern Oregon is now easily to reach with an excellent road system. Visitors to Eastern Oregon lodging now use Interstate 84 or Interstate 82. From north to south, US Route 395 is an ideal road, and there are also other major roads such as US Routes 20, 26, 30 and 97.

Eastern Oregon has a drier, more continental climate than most of the state. The region receives significantly more snow in winter and has areas classified as "deserts" due to the lack of rainfall. It is a region of contrasts.
