Portland Attractions Checklist & Guide đşď¸
â¨Two Viewpoints to Overlook Portland:đPittock MansionIf youâre interested in Portlandâs history, you can visit this mansionâbut most people come for the viewpoint behind it, where you can overlook the entire city in stunning beauty! đ°đCouncil Crest ParkThis is the highest point in downtown Portland. It offers panoramic views of the city and is also a popular spot for outdoor picnics! đ§ş â¨The Famous Columbia River GorgeDrive east from Portland along the Columbia River, and youâll find countless attractionsâchoose to visit based on your schedule! đđVista HouseA well-known observation deck with great views! đđMultnomah FallsPortlandâs iconic âcity postcardââitâs magnificent, but always crowded! đThere are many other waterfalls along the way; if you have time and interest, you can visit them too, including:Latourell Falls, Bridal Veil Falls, Coopey Falls, Wahkeena Falls, Horsetail Falls, and Hood River! đ§đRowena Crest ViewpointThis is also an internet-famous viewpoint, offering sweeping views of the entire Columbia River Gorge! đ¸đTom McCall Preserve (Wildflowers in May-June)Itâs incredibly beautiful when wildflowers bloom in late spring and early summer. However, rattlesnakes live hereâwhile attacks are rarely reported, always stay safe! đđ¸đMt. Hood VolcanoAnother famous âcity iconâ! Go skiing here in winter, or hike a trail to enjoy the snow-capped mountain scenery in summer. Personally, I highly recommend the Ramona Falls trail! âˇď¸đĽž â¨More Distant Check-in Spots from Portland:đSilver FallsYet another waterfall! Itâs about 60 miles south of Portland, with breathtaking sceneryâworth a visit if you have time! đđTillamook CreameryA famous dairy factory, and itâs huge!

Besides touring the factory, you could once sample various cheeses for free before the pandemicâit was so fun! đ§đŚđTillamook BayWhen you visit the Creamery, you can stop by the bay tooâitâs incredibly scenic! đđCanon BeachThe most popular beach near Portland, known for its unique large rocks on the sand.
