Portland Oregon Day trips tips

We will be in Portland Or. for 10 days. We have been to the coast and Columbia gorge and Lake Crater would appreciate any other places to go to that would be interesting.
Thank You
Manny from Florida

Seems like we just answered this question for you within the last week or two. Run a search and you'll find that you had plenty of good ideas.

Do you drink wine? Even if not the wine country is beautiful. Head down Hwy 99W. Write for brochures.

Or Mt. St. Helens - they have some nice visitor centers.

Mt. Adams for hiking/pinicing?

I got a giggle - it is Crater Lake.

Enjoy!

If you do not take the time to go up Mt. Hood and see the Timberline Lodge, you will have missed one of the most impressive and interesting things to do in the area. Take your appitite the lodge has wonderful food.

Also, if you like books you should see Powells Bookstore in downtown. 1 square block; pack a lunch.

I agree with the above re the wine country. The very best Pinot Noirs are being produced in Oregon.

Also for fun in downtown or very close is: Hawthorne district, 23rd Street,and Saturday Market. The trolley to Lake Oswego (follows the river all the way there). The only city in with a volcano within the city limits and Portland has the largest and the smallest city park in the country. Washington Park the biggest and Mill St part (1 square yard) the smallest.

If 'we' includes anybody remotely interested in aviation, visit the Spruce Goose at the Evergreen Museum, McMinnville. Outstanding.
