It’s not hard to find good mountain views in central Oregon. This is a place where the mountains aren’t just calling — they’re practically hitting you in the face.

Also, an UPDATE/REQUEST: Please let us know if you hit a paywall on this article. On Reddit, the goal is that no one hits a paywall. If you we're following our earlier announcement about this, there was an issue. Would love hear whether it's fixed now! Thx.

EDIT: One thing that would be useful is knowing the context of where people are reading: the web vs. the Reddit app.

EDIT 2: Thanks to everyone for letting us know that they still hit a paywall. The only way for us to know is to test this with real humans. So thanks for being that as we figure this all out. We'll get there!
