founded in 1962. Japanese gardens have an ancient history influenced by
Shinto, Buddhist and Taoist philosophies. Plantings, stones and the route
of pathways all give the visitor constantly changing views. The garden is
meant to calm and to soothe, and includes five formal garden styles: the

Flat Garden and the Tea Garden.

The Oregon Vortex - Gold Hill
The Oregon Vortex is a naturally occurring visual and perceptual
phenomenon which was believed by Native Americans to be a “forbidden
place” and has been featured on television shows on the Learning Channel,
the History Channel, the Discovery Channel and the Travel Channel.
