Portland, OR

Looks like I will be spending a day in Portland, Oregon in September for a meeting. How about some photo ops to convince me to add a day or two to the trip?

Thanks in advance.

Looks like I will be spending a day in Portland, Oregon in September for a meeting. How about some photo ops to convince me to add a day or two to the trip?

I would suggest a day trip over to Hood River via the Columbia River Highway (stopping at sites along the way like Vista House, Multnomah Falls, and Bonneville Lock and Dam), around Mt. Hood and back to Portland.

See this thread (http://www.dgrin.com/showpost.php?p=341882&postcount=12) for a pic of Multnomah Falls taken by fellow dgrinner erich6.

I also just discovered this site (http://www.byways.org/browse/byways/2141/) that can provide additional hints for places to visit.

Mount St. Helens is an easy drive. I was lucky enough to spend some time there, it was utterly fascinating.

Thanks for the ideas. Looks like there is plenty to see and photograph. I need to be there for business on a Thursday, so I will see about staying for at least Friday, maybe Saturday.
