11. Multnomah Falls

Oregon’s tallest waterfall is one of the most awesome sights in the state, a wonder compounded by its place in the incredible Columbia River Gorge, and the trails that wind up to other gorgeous waterfalls upstream. The man-made components — Benson Bridge and the Multnomah Falls Lodge — only add to its beauty.

10. Portland Japanese Garden

The impeccably manicured Portland Japanese Garden features stone gardens, tranquil ponds and many tucked-away spaces fit for quiet meditation. In 2017, the garden unveiled a big expansion that added several gorgeous buildings, including a tea house, bonsai terrace, entry garden and Castle Wall. The intention and attention to detail makes the Japanese Garden truly special, getting the most out of every inch of the beautiful space.
