Things to do in Multnomah County

Washington Park, Portland Washington Park, located in the suburbs of Portland, is a natural park built on hills with a history of more than 100 years. The park includes the Portland Zoo, the World Forestry Center, the Portland Children's Museum (established in 1946, located in the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI)), the Hoyt Arboretum (with a series of coast redwoods over 150 feet high, which were the first trees planted in the arboretum in 1931), the International Rose Test Garden (established in 1917, the oldest public rose test garden in the United States), and the Portland Japanese Garden (established in 1962 on the site of the former Washington Park Zoo, after which the zoo moved to its current location). In the warm sunshine of early spring, the flowers are charming, and it is really pleasant to spend a day here.

In this experimental garden, you can see many beautiful roses, but it is mainly an experimental garden, so don’t pick them easily.

This is an important part of Portland's urban landscape and anyone interested in architecture or urban design should visit it. Yes, there are always some weird street people here, but it seemed very safe to me. Enjoy a picnic on the steps in front of the fountain, relax, read a book, or just take in the local atmosphere.

I visited the Multnomah falls in Oregon. It’s about 30 minutes driving from the Portland international airport. The falls is not wide but very tall. There is a gift store and a restaurant for which the building is more than 100 years old. I thought I just look at the falls and take a few pictures, but I realized that I could hike all the way to the top of the falls. It’s physically challenging, and I almost give up in the middle of it, but I kept going. I am so glad that I made it to the top of the falls. The amazing view and sense of accomplishment are hard to describe. I highly recommend everyone to visit and hike.

Very nice hiking trails, but the highest point we stopped at here was easily the Powell Butte Nature Park overlook where you can see salmon

The forest park is really beautiful. There are lush trees here. Entering the forest park is like entering a primeval forest. It is also a good place for local people and surrounding people to go hiking.

It was a very relaxing day in the park. There are many such parks in Portland. Many people run and exercise in such parks, and some people walk with their dogs in the park. It is very pleasant.

The park is not very big, but the scenery is very nice. It is close to our hotel, so we passed by it several times in the morning and evening. There are actually quite a few parks like this in Portland. It is a very beautiful city.

The Saint Johns bridge is one of the best viewing points in Oregon! The views are amazing, especially under the bridge with the nice trails! There’s one tree near one of the support beams that had a birds nest on it that looked really cute next to the bridge! If you are ever in Portland come check the Saint Johns Bridge out!

LaTourell Falls is a waterfall along the Columbia River Gorge in the U.S. state of Oregon, located in Oregon State Park. LaTourell is unique among the most famous Columbia Gorge waterfalls because it falls directly from an overhanging basalt cliff.
