Portland / Oregon
Portland is filled with bridges, with 12 crossing over the Willamette River, three crossing over the Columbia River, and eight in Central Portland. These bridges are some of the most iconic structures in the city, with the oldest—and most recognizable St. Johns Bridge—built in 1931 and the newest, Tilikum Crossing, constructed in 2015.
Portland’s International Rose Test Garden is the oldest official continuously operated public rose test garden in the United States. Unofficially known as the Portland Rose Garden, the space features more than 10,000 roses.
At 5,157 acres, Portland's Forest Park is one of the largest urban forest in the United States. With more than 80 miles of soft-surface trails, fire lanes and forest roads, Forest Park stretches for more than seven miles along the eastern slope of the Tualatin Mountains.
The Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area protects the spectacular canyon where the Columbia River cuts through the Cascade mountains—with cliffs and overlooks of Washington to the north and Oregon's mountains and waterfalls to
the south.
