Portland, also known as "the city of roses," is a short drive (accessible by public transit) to the mountains, beach, lakes, campsites, and more. You can also experience nature without leaving the city. Forest Park, 5,200 acres of one of the country's largest urban forest reserves, also accessible by transit, borders the city and includes several trails for various adventures and exploring.
