8 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.

Get in touch with nature at Fort Clatsop National Memorial and Mount Hood. Head to Powell's City of Books and Woodburn Premium Outletsfor plenty of shopping. Get out of town with these interesting Portland side-trips: Little Zigzag Falls (in Government Camp), Hood River Lavender (in Hood River) and Bonneville Hatchery (in Cascade Locks). There's much more to do: trek along Wildwood Recreation Site, identify plant and animal life at Astoria Column, stop by Blue Heron Cheese & Wine Company, and admire the majestic nature at Hug Point State Park.
