Mt Hood

My favorite mountain of all time. Mt Hood is only an hour away from Portland, and is a great year round destination. This shot was taken from a plane window...

Bandon

Bandon is quite a ways from Portland, but very worth the trip. We had a great seafood meal of Dungeness Crab and mussels, and the town is fantastic. But the beach is definitely a highlight.

Columbia River Gorge

This is by far the most gorgeous land in the United States. Bar None. And that's my opinion.

It has windsurfing, hiking, waterfalls, kayaking, grand hotels, rose gardens, and on and on. You must go see it!

This pic was borrowed - I could never get a vista this big on my own...
