Portland, OR
A little over an hour drive from Government Camp takes you into Metropolitan Portland, which offers more than urban adventure.
Within a few minutes’ drive of downtown Portland are Pinot-producing wineries (most with year-round tasting rooms) and kayak-friendly waterways that nudge wildlife preserves. If it’s urban adventure you crave, be warned that the Rose City isn’t your run-of-the-mill urban mega polis. Portland is an effervescent arts community with dozens of urban parks and green spaces, a lively downtown featuring an open air plaza serving as the community’s living room and a world-class public transportation system. It is no wonder that Portland, Oregon is one of the country’s most livable cities.
