      This aircraft museum has most of the warbirds used in WWII, including fighters, bombers and troop/cargo carriers. Jack Erickson started collecting in 1983 and has a huge collection. Most of the aircraft are in mint condition and most are still airworthy. Sometimes you can even see one flying from the Madras Airport adjacent to the Erickson Collection. ...

      The museum is just about all that remains of the original Owens-Corning Glass Factory in Corning, New York. All but a few commercial products are now made in other parts of the world. The museum houses a fabulous collection of rare glass artifacts, a modern art/glass gallery, and several demonstration areas where visitors can watch glass being blown, heated and worked into practical or artistic shapes. There is even a DIY area where you can make your own glass pieces. ...

      Maid of the Mist is a boat ride of a lifetime. It has been in continuous operation since 1846. Boats leave from both the Canadian and American sides of Niagara Gorge and power up to within a few hundred yards of the Horseshoe Falls. The trip takes 30 minutes, and is wet and wild for everyone. ...

      In the heart of the town of Montour Falls is a very scenic waterfall, Shequaga Falls, which translates to "Tumbling Waters" in a local Native American language. It can be difficult to see the cascade driving on the main street, so drive a few blocks west and keep watching the cliff until you see ...

      Frenchman Coulee is just about the only reason there is an exit on I-90 at mile marker 143. The road winds down for seven miles to the Columbia River with cliffs, hiking trails and a spiky formation called "The Arrows" along the way. It is a rock climbers paradise as well as a good nature sanctuary. Waterfalls flow off the cliffs during the wet season of the year, too. ...

      Dry Falls is 3.5 miles wide and 400 feet tall. It was once a roaring waterfall. It was 'wet' for a short time at the end of the Ice Age, but all that is left today are the cliffs and several spring fed lakes at the base which form Sun Lakes State Park. The visitor center and Vista House overlook provide stunning views of the canyon that was ...

      Bend is the mother lode of vacation destinations. Bend got its name from the early pioneers, because it was the only place where they could cross the Deschutes River for miles. It was originally called "Farewell Bend" for that shallow bend in the river. Today, Bend is the largest city in ...
