Picturesque Portland Parks

Washington Park's 400 acres in the West hills of Portland is one of the most beautiful settings anywhere. On a clear day like we had today, you can see Mt. Hood, downtown Portland, and the Willamette River. To the North, you can see across the Columbia River into Washington and over to Mt. St. Helens. We spent the afternoon strolling among the 7,000 rose bushes at the International Rose Test Garden, through the tranquil and authentic Portland Japanese Garden, and on the grounds of Pittock Mansion 1000 feet above the city's skyline. Another picture-perfect day. . .
