Like Portland Hill Walks, Portland City Walks takes you on adventures in your own city with twenty, long (3-6 mile), scenic routes through Portland neighborhoods, parks, and nearby towns. Explore Forest Grove's wooded Pacific University campus and the adjoining Clark Historic District, where mid-nineteenth century homes sit in groves of Oregon white oaks. Take long strolls through classic Portland neighborhoods like Laurelhurst, Irvington, Ladd's Addition, Sullivan's Gulch, and Nob Hill.
Every walk leads you by local stores and restaurants in thriving neighborhood commercial districts, many of which date back to streetcar days. This book also lists info on nearby attractions and best times to visit, so you can spend a whole day on vacation, without ever leaving town. You're a local and you've never driven down to explore Oregon City? You haven't walked its historic blufftop streets, taken its quirky municipal elevator, visited its small and wonderful museums, and gazed down upon Willamette Falls, one of the twenty largest waterfalls in the world (by volume)? You're in for a treat. Like all the walks in this book, this one will delight you. Portland City Walks makes a great gift, for yourself and for anyone who likes to see what's out there.
