Things To Do
Lincoln City Beach Access
Any spot on the Oregon coast is beautiful. Looking out at the Pacific Ocean never gets old.
Multnomah Falls
This is probably the most well-known waterfall in the area. It is breathtaking, but you will need a reservation for parking/entrance.
Silver Falls State Park
This is a beautiful park with several different waterfalls. It is definitely an all-day more strenuous hike.
Portland Japanese Garden
Shawn took me here on one of our first dates & we had a wonderful time. It's very serene.
International Rose Test Garden
This is near the Japanese Garden. It has rows and rows of roses. It's so pretty & interesting to see all the variations/hybrids.
Powell's City of Books
It's known for being the world's largest independent bookstore. It's a pretty quintessential Portland stop.
Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area
I am constantly in awe of how scenic & gorgeous almost every drive is here. You really can't go wrong seeing anything on or along the Columbia Gorge.
Tillamook Creamery
I have yet to go here, but Shawn has been. It's a cheese factory that a lot of people enjoy & it is near the coast...so you would be able to do both on that drive.
Bend
We've never been to Bend, but it is supposed to be a very beautiful place to visit. We plan on making a trip there in the future.
