See a little piece of literature that's been brought to life and immortalized at the Beverly Cleary Sculpture Garden. The sculptures here were created in the likeness of Cleary's most beloved characters, Ramona Quimby, Henry Huggins, and the Huggins' dog Ribsy. The statues are complete with fountains that create a fun environment to play, and also feature plaques with the titles of Cleary's Portland-based stories.
For adventure within the city, climb to the summit of Council Crest to get a supreme view of Portland and surrounding areas. The 3.3 mile hike boasts an elevation gain of 820-feet, making the climb quite a workout if exercise is what you're looking for. This hike is a great way to see the city and commune with the nature that lives within it.
