The Columbia River Gorge is known for its stunning waterfalls. It's less than an hour away from the house. Click through to a map of all of the waterfalls, including ones that are an easy walk from your car vs. ones that are a hike. 

​

If you only want see hikes that are an easy walk from your car, uncheck the box on the left of the map that says "waterfall hikes" so it'll only show you the "accessible by car" waterfalls on the map. This is a great option if you have young children.

Nationally recognized as the largest continuously operating open-air arts and crafts market in the country, Portland Saturday Market is proud to provide a marketplace for small businesses creating locally handmade arts, crafts and foods from the Pacific Northwest.

Fun family activity. The outdoor exhibits are completely free. Check out the big map of the Oregon Trail under the outside covered wagon stage.

My friends love to take their kids here because of the great play structure and water park features. They call it a fancy park!

Open daily from dawn til dusk, visit this local farm where people of all ages can enjoy urban agriculture and step back in time to view life in the country. Take a self-guided walking tour, attend a children's garden class, have a picnic, and say hi to the chickens.
