In reality, this Cape Perpetua Well is only about 20-feet deep. But visit an hour before or after high tide and you’ll swear it’s an abysmal sinkhole. Read more.
Third tallest monolith in the world. Tidal pools are a must-see; check the tides, take your camera, and take your time (just keep an eye on that tide!).
At 1,943 feet, Crater Lake is the deepest lake in the U.S., and one of its most stunning. There are no streams or rivers feeding it—the lake is the product of pure glacial runoff and precipitation. Read more.
Go here! Beautiful BLUE views everywhere. So deep, so clear, great hikes - you can do several in a day. RECOMMEND
Love to hike in the gorge. Today we are starting at Wahkeena falls trails then up last fairy falls then hanging a right and coming down at Multnomah falls
Take a picnic with you and go all the way in the back by the scenic view....beautiful and romantic!
When leaving, don't just get back on the freeway. Head West on the old highway for more falls and some great pictures of the Vista House and surrounding hills.
A beautiful waterfall, a quick walk from Multnomah falls! The walk to the viewing bridge to Wahkeena is quick as well and it's very peaceful once you're on top
One of the best hikes you'll ever do. Climb the logs and wade through the chest-deep (and cold!) water. Totally worth it.
Like the forgotten remnant of a past age, the core of an ancient volcano, a.k.a. Beacon Rock, rises up 850 feet from the Columbia River. Read more.
if ur waiting for a big tub or people are hogging it most tubs are for 5 or more and if they refuse to share then 30mins is all they got, dont let them be a dick to u!
Gorgeous views, a great spot for birthday parties and get togethers, absolutely amazing. Clear water, fun with friends, hiking and camping.
The trail is a 2.3 mile loop, totally doable under an hour. Cool scenery with volcanic rocks and fissures.
Modeled after the bar in From Dusk Til Dawn. It features a vegan Mexican menu and a bank full of $2 bills for tipping beautiful dancers. It's perfect for fans of strippers, nachos, and vampire films.
Right in downtown Portland. Miles and miles of lush green forest and trails for hiking or running. There are a number of entrances. http://www.forestparkconservancy.org
Not only does it inherently have character and ambience as a result of it's historic building, it also rotates fantastic films and offers some great concessions (micro brews, ice-cream, mmm....).
The garden opened in 2000. Most of the plants featured in the garden are indigenous to China, but no plants were brought from China due to import bans. Some plants in the garden are 100 years old.
FAVORITE. This is like wonderland in a city park. The trees are enormous -- this park reminds me that I'm small -- and apparently you can watch Star Trek reenactment rehearsals here too.
After several years, price is now $4 instead of $3. Still worth it to catch a flick, beer, slices, & have a good time.
If you want to hit this place up, do it at happy hour and take advantage of the food specials. 3-6 or 10-12.
Did you know? The founder of Mill Ends Park claimed it was the site of the "only leprechaun colony west of Ireland" and often wrote of the leprechauns' activities in his column in the Oregon Journal. Read more.
The 280 steps on the park's northeast side make up the longest public staircase in the city. Time your ascent from the base to the drinking fountain at the top!
Not many Chinese stores anymore. Only porn stores, adult theaters, fetish private rooms, & Voodoo Doughnuts
Attend an OMSI After Dark Event. Last Wednesday of every month.
There is a great parking Garage right across the street from Deschutes Brewery Restaurant. It's the perfect place to park and walk from.
"Portland's Living Room" is located in the heart of downtown and hosts 300+ events throughout the year. Nearby you can find world-class shopping and tasty food carts.
Opened in 1917, the garden houses over 7,000 rose plants of approx. 550 varieties. It's the oldest continuously operating public rose test garden & exemplifies Portland's nickname 'The City of Roses'.
Best visited on a rainy day in the fall. I've been to other Japanese gardens in America, but this is the first time I think I really "got" the idea of a rock garden.
Fun atmosphere with good beer and within walking distance to the Hostel. There's a tasting tray of 10 tastes for $10.
Clean, well crafted beer. Inviting tap room. They allow outside food. Knowledgeable pourers. Stout and browns are good. Usually have a cask beer. Fun place to hang out.
Excellent beer! Get the sampler to start - you can choose any 6 beers from the current menu. Read more.
Grab one of their free taster cards from a farmers market, otherwise it's $5 for a few tasters. Try sticking with just their whiskeys!
Attend Free Play night, that's when the place gets crazy and even more awesome, $5 cover, all machines set to free
Great Spanish Coffee, either hot or on-ice. the show is spectacular and you will meet good people here. If you are visiting Portland this place is a most.
Tia throws some of the best Parties during the summer! There is so much open patio space for those summer nights!
Great collection of carts: People's Pig (Porchetta), Flying Scotsman, Nong's Khao Man Gai, Gaufre Gourmet, and Ole Latte.
If you're a tourist, VooDoo will leave you feeling cheap, used and jaded. Go to Blue Star. Order the Valrhona Chocolate Crunch or the fritter or any other donut for that matter. Delicious!!
Fiance got the WT. His egg were cooked to Perfection, the biscuit was delicious, and the gravy is out of this world. Same feeling on potatoes, lackluster. Overall nine out of ten for this dish!
If you have dinner at the imperial, please have the porkchop. Absolutely the best I have ever had. Over 2" thick and cooked perfectly
Everything. Get everything. The pork belly (Machanka), the cherry dumplings, fish board, salmon roe, borsht, khachapuri, and the baltic sprat buterbrodi all blew our minds.
Must Order: Meat! More specifically, beef. Try cuts like culotte (a.k.a. baseball steak), rib eye, or hanger steak. Throw in a side of Millennium Farms creamed corn for good measure. Read more.
I took the recommendation for Salmon Hash and it did not disappoint! Combine with the French press coffee and you're set. If you come alone or group of two sit at the bar. First come first served.
Add a little teriyaki sauce to the mac salad. It sounds a little odd, but you will thank me later.
Of course, Nong's addictive signature dish, a Thai take on Hainan chicken, takes center stage, here and at Nong's two food cart locations, at SW Alder and at the PSU cart pod. [Eater 38 Member]
Go early b/c they sell out quick! Order a side of fried chicken skin with your hainan chicken. You won't be disappointed! Trust!
The founder is from North Carolina and the biscuits and other dishes are as authentic as you'd want, with a few added embellishments. I recommend the Reggie, even for breakfast.
Here you can eat ALL THE ANIMALS. I recommend the Pit Boss, Plato Tejano, any of the sandwiches, or the Cobb salad. Oh and the frito pie.
The tastiest wings on earth – without the usual Pok Pok wait! Amazing. The wing special makes a nice meal (wings with green papaya salad and sticky rice). Go for spicy. Thank me later.
Lovely city view of Portland from the 30th floor. Fabulous Happy Hour (the calamari is a classic) & great piano music!
It just doesn't get better than Salt & Straw and I'm an ice cream snob. Try the Strawberry Honey Balsamic, the Oregon Rocky Road, or the Sea Salt with Caramel. You can't go wrong with anything!
Two scoops are about a half pint serving. You can split a single scoop into two flavors for variety.
Fried chicken, bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit was to die for. Like literally this thing will give you a heart attack, but it's worth it.
Overrated, but fun donuts I guess. Count how many obese people walk out with a box of a dozen donuts tucked under each arm.
If you only get 2 doughnuts get the Memphis Maffia & Grape. If you only get 1... get 2.
ham plate ham plate ham plate ham. Some pigs die in vain. These pigs did not.
17% tax as opposed to 25% at most other places. gorgeous space but you're still paying for twee 🍁✨
Very nice and friendly staff. Very comfortable setting with a lot of great products. They are very open about protecting your privacy. What can I say, it's a cool place!
Unique coffee on a unique double decker bus. Had the Egyptian coffee over a shot of espresso. Great spot!
The Original Stumptown location. Come here and chill for a relaxing morning with an amazing cup of coffee!
Family fun for the young or young at heart. Watch a movie on the cheap and play nickel arcade games to your hearts content. This is the kind of place you hope will always be around for generations.
A small is enough food for one, especially if you order apps. Loco moco and sweet ribs are delicious.
