exciting outdoor activities in less than a 2-hour drive: snow skiing in the
Cascades, windsurfing in the Columbia River Gorge, white water rafting or
escaping to the Pacific Ocean Coast for some rest and relaxation. You don't
have to leave Portland, however, to have a great time. Portland offers over
200 parks (home to the world's largest city-owned forested park), music and
art festivals, symphony, opera, theater, dance, museums and galleries,
