How Can You Not Visit Portland?! (Full Itinerary) β¨
β Day 1: Mt. Hood Grand Loop (HIGHLY RECOMMEND!) π Panorama Point β Less crowded, super photogenic! πΈ π Lost Lake β Similar to Trillium Lake ($15 parking). Both have lots of kayakers, so the water isnβt perfectly still for mountain reflectionsβbut still stunning! π£ββοΈποΈ π Multnomah Falls β Permit required to get up close to the twin waterfalls. Worth it! π¦ β Day 2: Shopping & Coastal Vibes ποΈπ π Arc'teryx β Stock was fully loaded. Bird hunters, this is your spot! π¦ π Snow Peak β Didnβt get the hype in Beijing, but totally vibed with it here. π Frances May, Kiriko Made, Machus β Boutique cluster. Honestly? Meh. Not my favorite. π Cannon Beach β Went on a gloomy, windy day (missed the sunset π), but the sea stacks were majestic. ππΏ β Day 3: Food, Coffee & Hidden Gems βπ π Tanaka β MUST-TRY: Pork Katsu Sando & Strawberry Sando. Life-changing. π₯ͺπ π Sterling Coffee β Got the Sea Salt Caramel Ice Latte (weβre coffee noobs, but this was π₯). π Kenβs Artisan Bakery β Portlandβs famous blueberries? In a croissant? BLUEBERRY JAM = HEAVEN. π₯π π Pro Tip: Sterling & Kenβs are right by each otherβdouble up! π Kinokuniya Bookstore β Home of the Portland x Sanrio collab! ππ π Nordstrom β Nearby, with clean bathrooms (priority π½). π Oblation Papers & Press β Famous for typewriters, but the fountain pens & inks stole my heart. βοΈπ π KEEN β Flagship US store! Rare colorways you wonβt find elsewhere. π π Another duo: Oblation & KEEN are neighbors! π Pittock Mansion Viewpoint β Epic city + mountain views.
