The Beaver State is truly the best in the country, in our humble opinion. We have stunning mountains, excellent craft beer and coffee, beautiful waterfalls, and the best people you’ll ever find. Sure, other states might have a few of these features, but what makes Oregon so special is that we have a unique mix of ALL these and more. Here’s an Oregon town that has pretty much every wonderful thing about our state – all in one little package!
The town of Sisters is home to around 2,500 people, and it has just about everything you could ever want or need.

Sisters was named after the distinctive Three Sisters peaks, but it’s surrounded by several other mountains, including Mt. Jefferson, Mt. Washington, Three-Fingered Jack, and more. Quite the landscape, right?

For being such a small town, Sisters hosts some incredible events, including the famous Sisters Rodeo, Sisters Folk Festival, and Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show.

There’s nothing like a cold, creamy ice cream cone on a warm summer day, and Sno Cap has the best ice cream and friendliest service. The burgers are tasty, too!
