So, pack your galoshes and get ready to explore the City of Roses just as it’s starting to bloom. With 70 miles of hiking trails within Portland city limits, the world’s largest independent bookstore, a dozen scenic bridges crossing the Willamette River, nearly 300 luscious gardens and parks (including the world’s smallest park!), tax-free shopping, more breweries than any other city on earth, and wine country in its backyard, Portland has more than a little something for everyone.
