The Columbia River Gorge area has almost 100 waterfalls! Some of our favorites include: Multnomah Falls, Horsetail and Pony Falls, and Wahkeena Falls. June is a great time to view all of the wildflowers!

On the Oregon side of the Gorge, the Hood River Valley is known for 14,500 acres of fruit trees and wineries! A 35 mile loop was created to visit some of the highlights. Our favorites are: The Gorge White House (great ciders!), Stave and Stone Winery and Lavender Farms, and Draper Girls Country Farm.

30 mins east on the Oregon side is Hood River, the wind surfing capital of the world! On a nice day, you can see wind surfers. Hood River also has great food and drink options. One of our go-to spots is Full Sail Brewing! Sit on their patio to get a view of the water while you eat their salmon fish and chips!

If you have a car and are willing to drive, Mount Hood is about 1.5 hours away. Timberline Lodge has a wonderful view from the top! Some of our favorite hikes are: Mirror Lake, Tom/Dick/Harry, and Lolo Pass (shown below).

If you're planning on making a trip while out here, we recommend checking out wine country. There are 700 wineries in the Williamette Valley! Check out some of them here. Some of our favorites are: Williamette Valley Vineyards (where we got engaged!), Colene Clemens, and Durant.

Portland is a very foodie town and known for their food truck pods and craft beer. Some of our favorite restaurants and breweries downtown are Eem, Ken's Artisan Pizza, Matador, Matt's Barbecue, Deschutes Brewery, and 10 Barrel Brewery. NW Portland is our favorite part. NW 23rd Street is a great area to stroll and shop! The Washington Park area, including the Oregon Zoo, International Rose Test Garden, and Japanese Gardens, is also super fun!
