There are some great breweries and places to grab a beverage in and around Portland. Downtown Portland I love the historic architecture downtown. Check out Old Town Chinatown, Powells Bookstore, the Rose Garden, or go for a jog along the Willamette River. I love a good morning run, but walking is just as good! “Keep Portland Weird” is the city’s slogan, and eclectic culture and historic architecture downtown doesn’t disappoint. I’m a sucker for checking out a new city by foot. Hiking up the mountain to the top of the falls.įor more information about the falls, adjacent lodge and related facilities, click HERE. If you are up for something a little more strenuous, there is a two mile switchback hike to the top of the falls, with an elevation gain of just over 700 feet and a beautiful view down below. Parking is at a premium as it is only located along the main highway, so plan to arrive early or get ready for a wait a bit for a space to open up. There is a very short walk to the base of the falls, and it’s only about a five minute walk to hike up to the bridge. The dramatic Multnomah Falls is over 620 feet tall, and is a must see when visiting Portland. No electrical hookups or water is available.A few minutes drive from Angel’s Rest you’ll find one of the prettiest waterfalls in the United States. A short nature trail winds among the plants that have found a niche along the desolate rim and leads to an overlook of the canyon where a bench is provided for relaxing and enjoying the view. Two accessible vault toilets and trash receptacles are conveniently located in the campground. Picnic shelters are located at three campsites two with single shelters and one with a double shelter suitable for larger groups. Accessible vault toilets are available at both Sage and Cliffs picnic areas.Īngel Peak Campground has nine sites available for tent camping each with picnic tables on a concrete underfoot, gravel pathways, and fire grates. Trash cans are located in all three picnic areas. Each site has a shelter, tables on a concrete underfoot, a gravel pathway, and a fire grate. Three picnic areas (Sage, Castle Rock, and Cliffs), containing seven developed sites, are located along the rim road. Three picnic areas and a campground are located along the canyon rim overlooking Angel Peak and the Kutz Canyon badlands. Collection and study of these important fossils by permitted paleontologists helps document the evolution of many mammal species and contributes to our knowledge of the earth's history. Remnants of mammal fossils, as well as wood petrified over the ages, can be found eroding out of the sandstone, siltstone, and mudstone visible in the canyon today. However, the banded colors of the badlands and the deep sculpted fingers of the canyon at the base of Angel Peak are only fully revealed to those who make the short journey along the rim. The nearly 7,000-foot Angel Peak, a landmark composed of river deposited sandstone from the San Jose Formation, is visible for miles in any direction.
