When in Portland

Easy to get around, lots of food, and beautiful mountain trails just a little ways from you, Portland, OR is a city I will have to revisit someday. A little over 3 hours of a drive from Seattle, we drove down to spend a day and a half in the city. With just a bit of time, here are a few suggestions for sights and bites we covered while there.

Things to Do:

1. EAT, EAT, EAT

Basically the reason why we travel anywhere right?! The options

are just endless! See below for all the eateries we stopped in at.

2. Mt. Hood National Forest - Trillium Lake Loop Hike

This will take you most of the day so keep this in mind if you

decide to do this, but well worth the drive since the view is

incredible and people walk across the lake when it's completely

frozen over in the Winter.

Places to Grab a Bite/Coffee/Drink:

1. Portland City Grill Restaurant

Great happy hour specials with a skyline view of the city

from the 30th floor!

2. Voodoo Doughnut

Tons of quirky, fun flavors to enjoy at this iconic doughnut eatery!

3. Proud Mary Cafe

One of the best Aussie-style brunches I've had so far in a

gorgeous space with lots of flavorful options to choose

from!

4. Salt & Straw

I can guarantee you that there will be a line that stretches out the

door, but can't leave Portland without grabbing a scoop of their

super flavorful ice cream!

5. Back to Eden Bakery

Lots of vegan and plant-based options at this bakery and cafe!

6. Bollywood Theater

Street food, apps, drinks, meals, and more in a space that will

transport you to a corner of India.

7. Heart Pizza

Always down for brick oven pizza and this place knows the right

flavor combinations that leaves you wanting to come back for

more.
