    Oregon is one of those states that's very similar to Washington. Its got the great outdoors, great people, but the one thing that i would say it beats in Washington is the food. Unfortunately, during my visit here, we were unable to sample some of the great cuisine that Portland, Oregon is known for. But definitely come check out some of the great hikes that this state has to offer!

      So im looking to go somewhere for my 30th in November i had the intentions of Portland to visit all the falls around the area, does Washington have something similar? Which would you recommend?

    Visit downtown and you will get to see a lovely assortment of tents. Walk around and you can enjoy dodging piles of human feces. And if you time it right, you can see dumpster fires, Molotov cocktails thrown, and local artist spray painting city hall and the court houses.

    I was born in Portland and grew up in and around there. I'm certainly familiar with Multnomah Falls and once hiked to the top of them. However, I've never heard of these falls. Thank you for showing them.

      Definitely check out Spirit Falls if you get a chance. Kind of a drive's away, but REALLY worth it. Apparently its pretty popular place for kayakers to venture out

      Thanks! The Pacific Northwest (Washington, Oregon) in June-July is the best season to visit. Hope you enjoy your trip there! Make sure to make reservations to certain dining spots as they can get booked pretty quickly.

    If you really want to experience Oregon skip Portland and the surrounding area. Southern Oregon has way better everything. Spirit falls has nothing like what we have down here. We have waterfalls galore and some of them shoot through lava tubes then re-emerge again to go over more falls. These are on Hwy 62 up by crater lake. And sample sea food in Brookings and Gold Beach so fresh its still swimming lol. Also prices are much better here in the southern part of the state.

    • @letsexplorelife927
      @letsexplorelife927  3 года назад +1

      It is about 500ft elevation gain. Parking lot to the falls is about a 0.5 mile hike. Very easy in my opinion.

      I want to say it depends. If you're planning on doing a lot of outdoor activities then I definitely believe it's worth it. A lot of the shops are opening up now as well.
      I do plan on going back to Portland in 3 weeks, visiting crater lake and checking out other parts of Portland. When would you plan on visiting?
