When Portland has a sunny day, which it did today, it is hard to think of a prettier place in these United States. Roses line the streets and highways like it's no big deal. The Columbia River Gorge and Scenic Highway are so beautiful, even Walt Disney could not have imagined it. The tree lined road wanders along the river with constant breathtaking views. There are waterfalls and nature trails to stop and enjoy every couple of miles. The trails meander through wildflower meadows as they lead to waterfalls, each one more spectacular than the next. Beautifully maintained historic buildings hold exhibits to educate and fascinate. The area is so impossibly pretty, yet very different from the pine forests of Vancouver and the Cascade volcanoes. The Pacific Northwest is stunning... and Portland is a must-visit city!
