About 35 minutes from Portland (and only 20 minutes from Troutdale), Multnomah Falls is Oregon’s most iconic natural wonder. The 620-foot, two-tiered waterfall is breathtaking year-round and easily accessible from the Historic Columbia River Highway. A short, paved walk takes you to the base, or you can hike up to Benson Bridge for an even closer view. With its dramatic beauty, this is a must-see for guests who want to experience the Columbia River Gorge.
Cartopia is one of Portland’s most beloved food cart pods, known for its cozy firepits, string lights, and lively late-night atmosphere.

It’s the perfect spot to grab a casual bite and soak up Portland’s food-loving, laid-back spirit.
Nestled in Washington Park, the Portland Japanese Garden is a serene oasis overlooking the city and Mount Hood. Its beautifully designed landscapes, tranquil ponds, and winding pathways create a peaceful, romantic setting that feels worlds away. It’s the perfect place to stroll, reflect, and take in the natural beauty that makes Portland so special.
