Madras, also known as “The Basin” due to its location in a round sloping valley, is a small city in Jefferson County, Oregon. This area is known for its desert scenery and view of Cascade Mountain range, with many rivers, lakes, and hiking trails. It was one of the prime locations for viewing the 2017 Solar Eclipse, and over 100,000 visitors came to witness the spectacular event in Madras. Ever since, the city has made itself known, hosting a range of activities such as cycling, fishing, and golfing. It’s popular for a quiet getaway from the city and is a great place to call the home to attractions such as Smith Rock State Park.
