Portland, Oregon: It adds up to a good story.

Travel Portland

Zero sales tax

(a savings compared to other US cities)

113 kilometers (70 miles) of trails in Forest Park,

a thriving wilderness within city limits

29 minutes to the spectacular Columbia River Gorge,

where waterfalls, wineries and windsurfing await

3 miles (4.8 km) of Waterfront Loop, a downtown bicycle and pedestrian path  with lovely city views and bald eagle sightings

47 working breweries within city limits (more than any other city in the world—try 'em all!)                                

500+ food carts for a good meal anywhere in town from local favorites like Potato Champion (with dessert at Scoop!)

 

And that's not counting...  Portland's farm-to-table (and forage-to-fork) restaurants; boutique hotels that ooze originality; cutting edge galleries and performing arts venues; 90 minutes to skiing on Mt. Hood or surfing on the Pacific coast; year-round festivals of food, drink and flowers; and arguably the world's first barrel-aged cocktails.
