Portland Overview

By Travel Expert: Candyce H. Stapen

Nicknamed the "City of Roses," Portland practically blooms with family-friendly attractions. Better yet, this urban outdoor playground provides easy access to Pacific Coast beaches 80 miles west as well as to the spectacular Northwest scenery of 11,240-foot Mount Hood, 65 miles east of Portland.
