Eola Hills

Eola Hills

The Eola Hills are a range of hills northwest of Salem, Oregon, United States. They stretch from the community of Eola to about ten miles north in Yamhill County.

They are divided from the Salem Hills by the Willamette River at Eola.

Geography

The western, wetterFact|date=August 2008 side of the hills are still covered in mixed forests that were never felled for farmland: the eastern side is farms and vineyards.

Not as wide as the Salem Hills, the Eola Hills are only a few miles from one side to the other, but form a significant barrier between the Polk/Yamhill and Marion County, Oregon countrysides, hiding the view of Salem from cities like Rickreall and Dallas.
