Willamette Valley
The Willamette Valley is a 150 mile long valley in Oregon. It is located between three mountain ranges and a river: the Oregon Coast Range to the west, the Cascade Range to the east, the Calapooya Mountains to the south, and the Columbia River to the north. It’s filled with vast beauty, with numerous rivers, creeks, and extremely fertile farmland. The Willamette Valley owes its fertile topsoil to the Glacial Lake Missoula Floods during the last Ice-Age, which left much of Eastern Washington the channeled scablands as it swept the topsoil through the Columbia River Gorge and deposited it in the Willamette Valley.
