oregon coast vacation

[melynda]

My husband and I are planning a trip to Oregon and coast in august for 10 days.
We would like to visit Mount Hood area, Crater Lake area, then on to southern
coast up to north coast. How long should we stay in each place?

Given the distance, you would be traveling overall; it’s difficult to say how long you should stay. The Oregon Coastline alone is close to 363 miles.
By your post I am guessing Mount Hood would be your first port of call. With extensive hiking and sport facility’s, it would be a shame to rush the time spent here.
Then a drive down to Crater Lake, again so much to do here, hiking, sports, and just total relaxation.
From here you are close to the South coast, for your drive up north.
On a personal level, I would set aside 2 1/2 days for both Mount Hood and Crater Lake, 3 days for the coastal drive, leaving a further 2 days, which covers your travel to and from Oregon and if you decide to stay an extra night somewhere along the way.
Hope this is of some help to you, and have a great vacation. Oregon is a beautiful state.
