Taste the best of Portland on an excursion with Forktown Food Tours. The tour company provides food adventures throughout some of the city's historic neighborhoods; we recommend the Alphabet District Tour where you can sample the best of classic Portland. The company also offers the North Portland Tour that explores some of the city's newest popular eateries.
Take the time to stop by and see one of the city's most significant pieces of public art, Portlandia. Located at the Michael Graves' Portland Building entrance, the statue is a reincarnation of the city seal, designed as a woman holding a trident and welcoming visitors to the building. The statue is the second largest copper repousse in the nation, surpassed only by the Statue of Liberty.
Explore one of the best mountains in the Cascades for hiking and check out some of the trails that stretch throughout Mount Hood. These recreation trails will take you through lush forestry, along mountain streams, up slanted hillsides and inclines, and all with a view of Portland's gorgeous nature. The trails are suitable for most hikers of any strength and stamina.
