Despite getting stuck in traffic on our return, this trip was the highlight of my visit to Portland. John, our driver and guide, was fantastic and a font of interesting facts about Portland and the sites on our itinerary: Mutnomah Falls, Bonneville Dam, Hood River and Valley, and Timberline Lodge. Amazing places to begin with, the recently-fallen snow only added to their beauty. Though a couple stops were closed due to road conditions, John substituted other interesting places, like a salmon hatchery, in their stead so there was never a dull moment. Well done!
