Sightseeing
A must-visit during your stay for those new to Portland. Depending on the months, you might need a permit during the busy seasons. There is a pathway to the lower, upper bridges. If you’re itching for an even greater experience, there is a hiking trail that gives you breath taking views of the Columbia River Gorge that eventually leads you to the top of the waterfall.

Each season brings something unique. However, if we had to pick, then Fall would be the best time to go. Be prepared for a small hike to the garden entrance but it’s definitely worthwhile. Be prepared to take many photos so bring your selfie, camera stand, to make the most of this experience. It’s not too far from the Oregon Zoo and right next to the rose garden.
