Florida to Oregon

Hey !! Me and my best friend are planning a trip to Oregon. We are from Florida and have no idea what to expect. I’m hoping to get some advice on where we should go to in Oregon, or at least a general idea of the scenery we’d be seeing. My friend wants to see some twilight destinations, but our main concern is the nature! We are planning for August. We both are looking for the forests/mountains vibe, especially the beautiful waterfalls. Hiking is our goal. We also prefer to stay out of high-tourist areas (which I understand is not possible for most destinations given their popularity and the month we are going) however I just want a general idea of which part (north/south/central) and budget recommended to complete our goals 😊😊
