Introduction of Portland Tourist Attractions

Our current position is at the mouth of the wide Columbia River, and we like to see the Pacific Ocean. (Diary of Lewis and Crabbe) This is also the first time that the US government has completed its expedition to the Pacific Ocean. )

The beauty of Oregon is not limited to downtown Portland. During this trip to the northwest of the United States, I was deeply impressed by the waterfall scenery along the Columbia Canyon, which amazed me. Another nickname for Colombia is the Great River, the West River or the Oregon River. It is also the longest river in the Pacific Northwest of North America, with a total length of more than 2,000 kilometers, ranking fourth among American rivers. The main highway along the Columbia River is Highway 84, but Highway 30, which is parallel to this highway, is the famous Guanpu Highway. This trip with Bao Shu took us nearly a day to see six waterfalls and two scenic spots (one for you to see Columbia Canyon and the other for you to see Mount Hood), which made us remember the Columbia Canyon vividly. There are eight scenic spots from east to west here. At the end of the article, I will share other pearls that I don't have, because I didn't have a chance to see my tree treasure.
