Portland always has something wonderful going on!  I’ve included links to some of my favorite places to go. 

If you love walking, take a leisurely stroll along the Portland Waterfront, or a great trek through the Zoo (www.oregonzoo.org). 

There’s the Japanese Gardens (www.japanesegarden.com) Washington Park Rose Gardens (www.rosegardenstore.org), Portland Classical Chinese Garden (www.portlandchinesegarden.org) and many art galleries, or Saturday Market.

There are several parks, trails and adventures awaiting you.  Forest Park is supposed to have the longest nature trail in a major metropolitan area in the United States - www.friendsofforestpark.org

We’re a land of many rivers giving you boating opportunities, water skiing, fishing, you name it.
