Escape the city for some fun on Sauvie Island. The island is large, boasting its own rivers, lakes, and islands, and its plentiful natural beauty has made it a popular destination for outdoor revelers. Sauvie Island has several areas for hiking and biking, and is also a great place to experience birdwatching, hunting, and fishing. On your way to the island be sure to look to the horizon to catch a pristine view of the Cascade Mountain Range, including Mt. Rainer, Mt. St. Helens, and Mt. Jefferson.
Dinner and happy hour, a DJ and cocktails; it's all part of the routine at Saucebox. Art adorns the walls at this popular and swanky nightlife venue as music remains an essential part of the lounge's atmosphere. While you're here, trying something from the menu is a must.
If you've seen the Portland skyline, then you've seen the St. Johns Bridge, and sure, you may have even driven over it. But forget the wheels; get your walking shoes and cross the bridge by foot, as many locals have suggested. A good workout and a beautiful view from an historic bridge will prove to be a highlight of your time spent in Portland.
