Oregon is a state in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. It is located on the Pacific coast, with Washington to the north, California to the south, Nevada on the southeast and Idaho to the east. Oregon's climate—especially in the western part of the state—is heavily influenced by the Pacific Ocean.

The western part of the state is generally moist and mild, while the lightly populated high deserts of Central and Eastern Oregon are much drier.
