Travel back in time to the homes of yesteryear and tour the Pittock Mansion. This chateau was built in Portland's West Hills in 1909, and boasts stunning architectural features and rich décor throughout. The home serves as a memorial to its first tenants, Henry and Georgiana Pittock, who played a great role in the development and prosperity of the city.
Enjoy a soak in a nature-provided hot tub at Bagby Hot Springs. This cozy natural tub is created by two hot springs flowing together into a rush of cold springs, creating a 136-degree relaxing oasis. These hot springs have three bathhouses that include communal hot tubs, private stalls, and “canoe-style tubs” - take your pick and get ready to relax.
Stop for a break from hustle and bustle at Tanner Springs Park. The park boasts paved walking paths, public art and statues, along with water features throughout. This lovely outdoor oasis occupies a little less than an acre of space, located between 10th Avenue and Marshall Street.
