and home of the University of Oregon. This scenic route runs from the fertile Willamette Valley and then along the Siuslaw River which flows through coastal mountains to Florence and the Pacific Ocean.
Florence has a population of over 7,500 and serves a market base of approximately 30,000. It is the largest community in western Lane County, and is a center for business, medical care, education and other services. The Florence area is also popular as a diverse and rich "playground" destination, where lush green forests meet the ocean's edge along one of America's most beautiful and dramatic coastlines (text from Florence Cities Guide).
