Sandwiched between the Willamette River and
the Columbia River, Portland is an outdoor person's delight. The magnificent
waterways overlook the Mount Hood glacier, a backdrop for a marvelous
visit. Whether you travel around Portland by train, bike or foot, the
city guarantees a beautiful view; because of building height restrictions,
the view of the Mount Hood will never be obstructed.
Portland's history unfolds at your feet. Pittock Mansion lets you relive
the past from viewpoint of the original Portlanders. View the history
from an environmental point of view at the Hoyt Arboretum where the trees
and flowers tell the stories of Portland. Be sure to visit the numerous
coffee shops, book stores and music stores, all of which made Portland
famous.
