“Seeing fall color in and around Portland is as easy as walking into the forest, but these are some of the best (and some of my personal favorite) fall hikes in the area.

“Not that you really need an excuse to visit the Portland Japanese Garden (also known as the most beautiful place in Portland), which is lovely every season. Take a stroll around the Garden and see the fall colors as you soak in the serenity and all the intention put into the place.”
