| Publisher Description: No Planning Required Rediscover the simple pleasures of a day trip with Day Trips from Portland, Oregon. Packed with full trip-planning information for hundreds of exciting things for kids, outdoor adventurers, and history lovers to do-all within a two-hour drive of the Portland metro area. Day Trips from Portland, Oregon helps locals and vacationers make the most of a brief getaway. Go biking, hiking, kayaking-or swimming -at Sauvie Island, or visit the recreational wonderland around the town of Silver Lake, where you can get a glimpse of Mt. St. Helens. Do something (mildly) intoxicating: Go on a tasting tour at one (or more) of the 200 wineries in the Willamette Valley. Do something historical: See people in period clothing reenact mid-19th-century daily life at Fort Vancouver, or 1920s farm life at Pomeroy Living History Farm in Yacolt. |
