Portland & Mount Hood

Forrest Park - Beautiful park near the city. Huge trees, quick and easy place to get away and into some beautiful Oregon nature
Trillium Lake - Kinda far away from Portland, but an amazing, beautiful wonderful lake to swim at! Very warm during the summer and has a spectacular view! I highly recommend.
Powell’s Bookstore - Books! Lots and lots of Books!! How could you not go??
Courier Coffee - My favorite coffee shop ever and right next to Powell’s. Cool staff and just a cool vibe.
Mt Tabor - East side of the city, beautiful views, easy walk up and down the mountain with plenty of places for a picnic.
Washington Park - Great place for a run, by the west side of the city. Great views, big trees, lots of trails for easy hiking.
- check out the rose garden and the Japanese Garden here too.
Japanese Garden - Unbelievable Japanese Garden. Worth a visit. You can get tea too, but you have to get a reservation.
McMenamins Kennedy School - Literally a school that they turned into a bar. Walk around the lockers, into the boiler room and grab a beer!
McMenamins (any of them) - Really worth a visit. They are all around Portland and Oregon and the beer is decent. Try the fruity Ruby beer (my favorite there), or try mixing two of the beers together! (Ruby + Terminator Stout == Rubinator!)
Food Trucks at Washington and 3rd - Great variety of food trucks!
Mt Hood - An hours drive from Portland. Check out Historic Timberline Lodge, Government camp for food/drinks.
- [Old Salmon River Trail] (https://goo.gl/maps/xpmdbuui6V8VyUvW8) is a beautiful easy hike in that area too :)
Ecliptic Brewing - My favorite brewery in Portland
