Portland/Oregon
 

Going in a few months. What's there to do beside seeing the homeless?

Put on cheap armor, dye your hair green and make signs. Enjoy yourself ;)

Don’t forget your black clothes and mask

Riot Ribs!

Strip clubs and Black Metal bands.

Depends on what you like to do - there's a lot of cool stuff.

Day trips to Oregon Coast....Amazing sights. Cannon Beach, Mt. Hood, Multnomah Falls

CHAZ! It’s a liberal paradise if you’re into that sort of thing.

Not a chance I would travel there. We have a family friend that has lived out there for 15+ years and has said it is getting awful. Just trying to find another place to move to. She’s also more in the city so my recommendation would be stay away from the city lol.

Yeah they bus these people in so maybe OP should gear up before heading in.

Yeah, we for sure looking to see these spots.

They do the same here in Hawaii. They fly them in though. No ID, no nothing. I don't know how.

I visited Eugene for a football game a few years ago and it was such a beautiful part of the country. We rented a car and drove from Eugene to Florence on the coast and went to the sand dunes and then drove up and down the pacific coast highway. It's really a nice little area. We didn't go to Portland but I think Eugene is only a short drive from there.

These are the best sites in Oregon.

We do family stuff - not sure if that's what you're after but - OMSI, Oregon Zoo, Japanese Gardens, Astoria is fun (especially if you're a Goonies nerd or like history - Lewis and Clark @ Fort Clatsop) - north coast is nice if you like quiet areas, head south as there are a lot of spots between Tillamook and Newport. The gorge is amazing, the scenic highway can be a blast during the week - nice drive and lots of hiking spots. Hood River is a fun town.

Depending on when you go - Mariners are up north, Trailblazers, Timbers, Hillsboro Hops, Winterhawks, Thorns, etc. Lots of colleges in the area as well.

It's about two hours south of Portland.

Skip Portland, travel about an hour west towards the coastline and take the Tillamook Creamery Tour.

This ... definitely a fun experience & tasty products. I really enjoyed their tour when we were out there a few years ago. We also toured the Oregon campus in Eugene (scenic but a little underwhelming). I loved Bend - the guys did the Bend Ale Trail while the girls went shopping, etc. Portland was a pretty depressing & scummy city with a handful of food trucks being the only highlight.

basically, drive east on 84 til your tired, hood river, gorge, scenery, bend, waterfalls,hikes, breweries,food galore.

then go west, tillamook exit, southern coast.

then after a breather, head north, hwy 101 toward long beach, hit cannon, seaside, astoria, then take mile bridge to washington and explore the scenery there.

Crown Point overlooking the gorge.

Highly recommend traveling the coast line. The only time I go to Portland is when the gf drags me there for shopping or I am going to a 'Zers game. I heard Portland used to be cool in the 70's.

Born and raised about an hour and a half south of Portland. I stick to the coast and Central/Eastern Oregon for weekend adventures. Approximately 2 hours from the Portland metro gets you to the coast line one direction or 3 hours the other way gets you to the high desert.

Definitely would recommend driving highway 101 through rockaway Beach (near tillamook) area to Newport, great scenery and restaurants.
