See what awaits you in this small town that boasts the tallest cowboy sign around!

The town of Lakeview is nestled in Southern Oregon. You'll be about 14 miles from the California border.

Lakeview is called the "Tallest City" in Oregon because of its high elevation (4,800 ft. above sea level). It also has a cool tourist attraction that brings in visitors from all over the world: a very tall cowboy sign.
