Visit the Beautiful Pacific Northwest

THINGS TO DO IN THE BEAUTIFUL NORTHWEST

Portland, Oregon, is one of the most beautiful cities in the world, sitting on two rivers with a view of three snowcapped mountains. Its thriving downtown includes a Nordstrom, Saks, Macy's, Powell’s City of Books (the largest new and used bookstore in America—it’s like going into a library where you can buy books), and our famous NW 23rd Avenue where you can visit Pati’s store of Italian dinnerware and accessories, Mamma Ro’, as well as many unusual boutiques and shops.

River & Mountain Jaunt
If you want a day trip, drive through the scenic, waterfall-lined Columbia River Gorge to Hood River. Have lunch at the Columbia Gorge Hotel, then take the Mt. Hood highway for the “loop drive,” stopping at historic Timberline Lodge halfway up Mt. Hood. Enjoy a chairlift ride up the face for a spectacular view. Drive back to Portland on scenic Highway 26--or go east to Warm Springs and see the new Native American museum. The whole trip takes a long day.

Oregon’s Scenic Coast
The beautiful and rugged Oregon coast is about 1½ hours away via Highway 26. Going south along Highway 101 past numerous beach parks and antique stores, you’ll reach beautiful Tillamook Bay with its cheese factory and scenic Three Capes road. Return via Highway 6.
