hello Portland folks, I am attending a conference in downtown Portland OR in late October. I’m staying an extra day to get some hiking done. My plan is to go to the airport and rent a cheap car, go to wherever you recommend for some good day hiking, and return to the airport for a late (9 pm) flight out. Any suggestions? any places to avoid?
Angels Rest is a pretty good hike if it’s your first time in town. Not super long, though.
The Trail of Seven Falls in Silver Falls State Park is another great one, but again, not super long.
If you want something longer there’s Tillamook Head Trail out by the coast that would give you good views of the ocean and cliffs out there.
Others may have better options. Keep in mind it’s likely to be raining no matter where you go.
Thanks for the recommendation. I did do Angel’s Rest and it was awesome except it was super windy 🥶
Glad you had a good time.
