edit for more points. the best part of the oregon coast is leaving oregon and then immediately going to jedediah smith redwood state park. prior to the redwoods, that part of california is super ugly though. as for getting back the train from southern oregon to portland goes through the mountains and is really beautiful. you'd have to take a bus to get from pdx to astoria.
