Eugene Hills
If you fly into Eugene, Oregon, the first things you will notice are the beautiful hills with all of those beautiful trees. Those beautiful, tall, dark, and green trees on top of those beautiful hills. Nature provides Eugene with just enough rain to keep those hills a beautiful dark green.

Skyview of Eugene
Once you get past the hills and the trees, you will notice the Willamette River that runs right through the middle of Eugene. Why would they put a river right in the middle of town? You might ask. Well, they didn't. Nature did and it was there a long time before Eugene was. The Willamette River is very popular for boating and fishing, and at some points along the river there are some strong rapids.

Eugene Airport
Just a few years back, Eugene built a brand new ultra modern airport. The runways were extended and it was made very easy and pleasant for visitors to fly into Eugene.
Inside the terminal, there is a restaurant, lounge, snack bar, and an assortment of shops.
|
As soon as you de-plane and walk into the Eugene Airport,
you will notice that there is something special about Eugene.
It is the people.

Eugene At Dusk
You will love the evenings in Eugene. If it was hot during the day, at night time it cools down. The air feels clean, and smells fresh.

5th Street
Over the last several years, Eugene has been growing up. The new buildings are modern and up to date. However, it was not necessary to throw away the old parts of town, and some of the new parts of town have maintained the design of years past.

Downtown Eugene
|
Eugene now has its share of high rise buildings, a big new federal building is under-construction, and Eugene is all grown up now. But Eugene, Oregon is still the Eugene that her residents have loved for so many years.
|
|
If you take a stroll in downtown Eugene, you can still say "Hello", or "How are you today?" and the other person will respond with "hello" and the other person won't look at you like you are crazy because you took the time to talk to them.

Sit and Relax
You can take a minute to sit and relax in one of the coffee shops, or you can just sit and enjoy the fresh air.
Thats right, fresh air!

Downtown at Night
There is a night life in Eugene, but it is not filled with honking horns from the hussle of automobiles at night.
It is filled with casual walks, or relaxing dinners in one of the many restaurants around Eugene.
|
|
|
There is an atmosphere of lets just all get along.
you be who you want to be, and let me be who I want to be.
Let's Just relax!

Eugene's Fountain
The design of the downtown fountain is the design of the rest of the city. It is modern and sophisticated, but casual and relaxed. It is contempory, but it represents Eugene's past.
|
|
If you take a few minutes out of your busy schedule in the middle of the day, you can stand beside the downtown fountain and actually hear the water running. Tall buildings, prosperous businesses, busy people, and people going places, but all at a relaxed pace.

|
The Statler Brothers or Merle Haggard, a broadway show or David Copperfield.
