The Columbia Gorge is quite nice if you like waterfalls. I found quite a few that were respectable sized and not a trickle running down a rock wall like some places, and not much hiking required to get to them. If I had a bit more time I might have spent another day there.

I also liked the northern coast near Cannon Beach a little more than near Newport because of the more rugged coastline.

The two books Snowy referenced have pictures of what you can see and I think fairly reasonable directions. I had a couple minor quibbles with accuracy, but overall worthwhile. I bought both of them from Amazon as used books for something like $25.00. I also found a couple hiking trails on the website I referenced in my opening post.
