Multnomah Falls
Silver Falls - Trail of 10 Waterfalls
Powell's City of Books
An entire city block of new and used books. If you like books, you'll be there awhile.
Hawthorne Asylum
Portland is well-known for its food card pods - this is a great one to check out!
Cannon Beach, OR - Pacific Coast
Home of the famous "whale rocks" of the Pacific Coast.
International Rose Test Garden
Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area
Pictured at the top of the very top of this page! This photo was taken by Rachel (on an older phone, so don't mind the quality) on one of our many visits to the gorge. The scene is even more spectacular in person.
Cartopia
Another highly recommended food cart pod. FYI - Cartopia and Hawthorne Asylum are pretty close to each other, so you could easily visit both on the same day.
Hoyt Arboretum
Hoyt Arboretum is so beautiful, we almost had our wedding ceremony there (back when we were planning a whole big thing for our ceremony). FYI: Hoyt Arboretum, The International Rose Test Garden, the Portland Japanese Garden, and Pittock Mansion are all in the same area of the southwest hills, so you could easily visit several of these spots in one day.
Portland Japanese Garden
McMinnville, OR - Wine Country
Mississippi Marketplace
This is a food cart pod at the north end of Mississippi Ave, which is also a great place to walk around, find food and drinks, shop, sip tea, people watch, or get nostalgic about your first date (based on a true story).
Portland Pickles at Walker Stadium
It's Portland's minor league baseball team, the Portland Pickles!
Wahkeena Falls
Hollywood Farmers Market
Manzanita, OR - Pacific Coast
Oregon Shakespeare Festival
World Naked Bike Ride!
Jk, folks! The Naked Bike Ride isn't until July this year.
