Welcome to Portland, the largest city in Oregon with half a million people within its borders and 1.6 million in the metropolitan area. Surrounded by hills, trees so tall they seem to touch the sky, and water, water everywhere. Fountains, rivers, ponds and plenty of rain keep the landscape green. With the Willamette River winding through the center of the city and framed by Mount Hood, Portland is a gateway to an outdoor wonderland. Let these 150 full color photographs walk you through this vibrant, eclectic, and well-loved city.
