Head towards Mount Hood and the Columbia Gorge on the 84 east and check out Multnomah Falls, the second biggest year-round waterfall in the country. Continue on to Hood River and you will find some lovely small and informal wineries and apple and pear orchards along the “Fruit Loop.” If you have time, take Lost Lake Road to Lost Lake. It has an exceptional view of Mt. Hood and is a beautiful place to relax and rent a variety of boats (paddle boats, row boats, and canoes) and paddle around the lake. If you’re really aggressive (we managed to do it in one day), head to Mt. Hood’s Timberline Lodge to enjoy dinner or a drink while watching the sunset.
Some of my favorite Restaurants: Screen Door, Ken’s Pizza, Pho Van and Clark Lewis.
Portland has the biggest urban park in the country…Forest Park. There are some nice hikes through the park.
Just 30 minutes south of Portland is Oregon Wine Country. There are hundreds of wineries that offer inexpensive tastings.
There are loads of local microbreweries…more per capita than anywhere else in the world, including Munchen, Deutschland.
Portland is a great place to shop as well. Oregon has no sales tax, so all shopping here is tax-free!
