Sightseeing

Best views of Portland - on the west side of park see all the way across downtown and from the east side, beautiful views all the way to Mt. Hood on a clear day. Good hiking and a great spot for some walking and exercise.

A bit of a drive (30+ minutes), but well worth it if you haven't been. Many other waterfalls and hikes along the Old Columbia Hwy as well. Expect heavy traffic and lots of people during the summer and on weekends.

Super yummy donuts. And they're vegan if you're into that. But regardless, they are super yummy! They also have vegan ice cream. I imagine that this is what a donut tasted like 100 years ago before chemicals started to replace real ingredients.

Zell's has always been a favorite of ours and it's been around for a very long time. If you want to hang with the locals for breakfast, this is a great spot. Not hipster or pretentious, just great breakfast and a cozy, homey feel. Like all places in Portland, be prepared to wait for awhile if you go on the weekend.
