The trident wielding woman is enormous and is awe inspiring and beautiful and perhaps to a certain kind of man perhaps intimidating but that isn't necessarily a problem there. This statue is on the Portland Building and if you simply wall by or near it's nearly impossible to miss. This is also an attraction where there is no fee to take a look at it as it can literally be seen quite easily from the public sidewalk. Yet another iconic downtown Portland landmark that is not to missed!

With one hand reaches out to us. In a way we are like her as we all emerged from the sea (water) from our mothers womb. She reaches for us to live as one in peace the way John Lemon wrote is his song "Imagine" - "Imagine all the people livin' life in peace." In the one hand Portlandia holds a trident, perhaps symbolizing protection for the city dwellers - for Portlandian's. Portlandia reminds me we are one city! One people! One earth! That's just my spin of this beautiful copper lady.

    A stroll upon the Tilikum Crossing is not merely a crossing it is an experience, dear reader, of…read morethe most civilized kind. Opened in 2015, this rather distinguished span stretches some 1,720 feet (a modest 0.30 miles, if you please), composed of roughly three and a half miles of elegant cable. And what makes it all the more proper? No motorcars allowed. Only buses, cyclists, and pedestrians quite right, wide chap. Orderly, safe, and delightfully serene, with buses gliding along at a sensible 25 miles per hour in their designated lanes. Its name, derived from a Chinook Wawa word meaning "people," "tribe," or "relatives," feels rather fitting. One cannot help but feel a sense of togetherness upon it an unspoken camaraderie among those who traverse its path. Now, allow me a small tale. After descending from the Portland Aerial Tram with a few companions, we found ourselves pausing midway across. There we stood, laughing like schoolchildren, when along came a most curious sight a gentleman dressed as a clown, pedaling past on his bicycle, honking and gesturing with theatrical enthusiasm. I say, it was impossible not to laugh. And then, as if the scene required a proper encore, we glanced upward. The sun was setting soft, golden, utterly splendid. Birds chirped their evening chorus as daylight faded into that slightly ominous, yet enchanting dusk. And just like that, the bridge awakened. Its LED lights began to shimmer and shift, reflecting the river's speed, height, and temperature below how clever, how modern, how utterly lovely. Indeed, the design itself is striking clean, contemporary, and most unique. By day it is impressive; by night, it is simply dazzling. One does not merely cross here one lingers, one laughs, one takes it all in. And isn't that just lovely?

    The Tilikum Crossing (Bridge of the People) is one of a dozen bridges in Portland offering good…read moreviews of the Willamette River. It's one of the newest bridges built around 2011. I was told unlike most bridges, it's dedicated to Portland Tri-Mext tram, bikes, and pedestrians so no cars allow which only makes it a peaceful and safe spot to stroll or bike across. Hence, I got to check out and set my own two feet on the platform!! Hahahaha The bridge way drops you off at either the end Tom McCall Waterfront or Vera Katz Park --- here are bicycle-pedestrian paths marked on either side of bridge. The design is sleek and modern, and the city skyline looks incredible from the bridge. Definitely a must-see if you're exploring Portland on foot or two wheels (so rent a bike for a day for $75).

Some say they haven't seen an account with this many reviews but there is indeed some accounts that have way surpassed my amount of reviews. I believe there is a Yelper out there (Bruce K.) that is from Charlotte, North Carolina that comes in with 23,000 reviews and 61,000 pictures for his reviews as of 2024 so I have waaaay more review writing to do to even get remotely close to this guy. The reviews I write is for something that is unique only to the place I have adopted as home ( or the region that I call home as opposed to a city). Previously I have written about the mountains of our region like Mount Rainier but this time around I wanted to write about something more urban and a place I always love visiting...Portland! The White Stag Sign is so signature Portland! We have seen it lit up at night and have seen it during the day. All of which we have managed to get different angles to look at. As other reviewers say the admission is free... which kind of makes sense since it's a sign. This sign at times seems to be so obvious that it's hard to miss but other times on the Interstate we miss it completely giving it that "camouflaged" notion in amongst the building and bridges... of course we may just be looking in the wrong place too...keeping one's eyes on the road is an upmost priority... which should go without saying. But you can still stroll by here as a pedestrian and get some great pictures of this Portland landmark and a landmark that totally smacks of Cascadia and the Pacific Northwest!

    Finally got the chance to see and be where the stag sign is after many years!

Items that are there are some of the original items that were donated to the mansion they have a Blue P next to the item. Other items there are antiques that have been placed to fit the theme. Lots of photos of the family and context to the photos! This was great. Outside was clean and there were ton of labels for all the plants. Flowers and plants full bloom! We did the WildWood Trail to the Witches Castle! It's a nice hike. Wear appropriate shoes and clothes! 2.3-5 miles round trip. It's a big enough path for multiple people but some areas narrow. The climb down is good but man back up lol you will feel the burn. They have restrooms onsite indoor and then they have a bathroom in the mansion basement. Toilets flush loud don't be alarmed. At the bottom of the trail when you cross the street, there was a porta potty. Map as well. Parking is expensive: weekend Saturday it was roughly $24 for all day! There are benches and picnic tables towards the view! Staff are very nice! Gift shop as well with snacks, plants, jewelry, postcards, and all sorts of items.

The view was pretty, but from where we were standing, it seemed to have a lot of blocking obstructions, I know big problems, but hey.... We stayed for about 10 minutes and were on our way again. Hey, it was free, I think the other side of the river would have been better.

We were driving to Clackamas to do some shopping--the tiny town of Happy Valley itself is cute and cozy. Hungry to explore the town, we pulled off of the road to the scenic overlook. The fresh, cool, and crisp Oregon air was blowing and the Willamette river was rushing straight and fast into the Willamette Falls. Surrounded by mountains, it was truly a sight to see. As a true Hawaii girl, it was surprising and interesting to say the least to also see so many historic "American" buildings. Close to the pull-over, there's a bunch of old paper mill, and industrial buildings. Interesting fact I found out: Willamette Falls is the largest falls (by water volume) in the West.--second only to Niagara Falls.
