Welcome to Portland, Oregon, home of the hipsters and land of the strip clubs. No really, Portland has the most strip clubs per capita. However, Portland is more well known for its quirky art, amazing food, coffee, flannels and beards. I’ve lived in Oregon for almost six months now, and feel like I have barely scratched the surface of what Portland has to offer.
Let’s say you have a quick weekend trip and want to explore Portland, what are some of the must-sees? For starters, it may involve spending a lot of time outside, brewery hopping and checking out the local restaurants.
1. Multnomah Falls
The falls are just about 30 miles outside of Portland, and attract more than 2 million visitors per year. The upper falls boast a 542 foot waterfall, with the lower falls coming in at 69 feet.
Simply take I-84 to the Multnomah falls exit, and you have made it. The waterfall viewpoint is easy to get to, as it is all paved pathway from the parking lot; no hiking involved. For the more adventurous, you can hike up a steep switchback trail to the bridge seen in the photo.
2. Little Beast Brewing
Founded in 2017, this intimate brewery has just about everything you could want – sours, lagers, IPA or Belgian-style. The name was inspired by the “little beasts” that transform water, barley and hops into beer.”
With 16 taps, they offer a wide variety of beer to enjoy on a hot summer day. Additionally, they also have cider, red/white wine and N/A beverages. Minors are welcome until 8pm, and well behaved dogs are welcome at all times!
3. Portland Japanese Gardens
“Inspired in the late 1950s by growing cultural ties between Oregon and Japan, Mayor Terry Schrunk and members of the Portland community conceived the idea of building a Japanese garden on the site of the old zoo in Washington Park. Their reasons for building a Japanese garden were twofold: providing the citizens of Portland with a garden of great beauty and serenity, while forging a healing connection to Japan on the heels of World War II. At this time in U.S. history, Japanese gardens were founded across the country as a way to build cultural understanding. Needing no translation, an American could experience firsthand Japanese ideals and values, communicated simply through nature.”
4. Pine State Biscuits
Pine State Biscuits was founded by three southern boys who had relocated to Portland from North Carolina. While they were homesick for biscuits, they decided to take the matters into their own hands and create their own mouth-watering biscuit recipe. They have had success since the opening of the their first location in 2008, and have expanded to four locations in the Portland area.
5. The New Renaissance Book Store
A trip to Portland wouldn’t be complete without visiting one of the largest spiritual and metaphysical bookstores in the US. You can purchase crystals, books, or even get a psychic reading. They are closed on Wednesdays, so plan ahead if you want to make a stop here.
