42 days in Portland Itinerary

A big city with a small-town feel, Portland is home to the country's biggest rose test garden, perched on a hill overlooking downtown.

You'll find plenty of places to visit near Portland: The Dalles (The Dalles Murals, Fire Museum in City Hall, &more), Cannon Beach (Ecola State Park, Cannon Beach, &more) and Dundee (Sokol Blosser Winery & Ponzi Wine Bar). Dedicate the 11th (Fri) to wine at some of the top wineries in the area. Spend the 17th (Thu) exploring nature at Fort Clatsop National Memorial. And it doesn't end there: admire the natural beauty at Portland Japanese Garden, admire nature's wide array of creatures at Oregon Zoo, take in the dramatic scenery at Multnomah Falls, and look for gifts at Powell's City of Books.
