DREAM DESTINATION
Oregon lives up to its promise
For a very long time, the entire conception of the United States stopped in Oregon. Lewis and Clark were sent there to find out where the continent ended; following behind came so many wagon trains that even now, a hundred years after the last one creaked to a halt, the Oregon Trail’s ruts remain cut into the landscape.
HOT! HOT! HOT!
Portland is this decade’s buzz word—why did it take so long?
Perhaps the San Francisco Chronicle summed it up best in 2005, when it said, “Newsflash: When you weren’t looking, Portland got hip.”
Progress, Portland-Style
Oregon's largest city shows that ecological and urban harmony can still be affordable and convenient.
The name Portland is synonymous with lush forests, endless rose gardens and snow-capped mountains overlooking the most serene urban setting in the Pacific Northwest.
