I hope they mark their trails better in the future. There's quite a few large hills and you won't know until you come up to one. We got turned around and did a few loops. What was intended to be an hour hike, turned into two hours because we had a hard time finding the parking area. Thank God for my Maps app! I was spent by the time we got to the car. We hiked for a little over 2 hours and went about 5 miles. Some of those miles were repeated as we didn't make it down to the river. Bummer, maybe next time! We did see the Molalla Log House. It was super cool and the guys working on it let us walk inside, which was very nice. They have a few vault toilets available and plenty of benches along the trails in just the right spots! We also saw a cool area where they're collecting syrup from the maple trees. There's an amphitheater and well water pump with dog dish for the pups to stay hydrated. There's also a few dog poop bags stations. Overall a great first visit! We'll definitely be back to see what we missed this trip.

My hubby and I had a wonderful time with Peter from Oregon Tour Co.! We were especially grateful…read morethat, even with just the two of us, Peter still picked us up and took us on the tour instead of canceling. Peter was courteous, knowledgeable, and genuinely fun to hang out with. He first drove us around Portland and explained the geography of the city, then we visited Pittock Mansion, where he shared a bunch of interesting facts and history. Next, we went to the International Rose Test Garden, where we got to walk around and literally stop to smell the roses. Afterward, Peter continued showing us around Portland and sharing interesting facts along the way. Since we had a little extra time, we also stopped at Mt. Tabor Park, and we ended the tour with a visit to Voodoo Doughnut before Peter dropped us back off at our hotel. Overall, we had an amazing time! Peter made the tour informative, relaxed, and really enjoyable. Thank you so much, Peter!

Sam (who's fucking amazing, by the way) helped him chose the perfect adventure for his big day. We ended up going to sticky fingers grow, lamota dispensary, Liberty glass, and ended at the quarter arcade on Hawthorne. Smoking between stops on the bus the entire tour. Sam, and the driver were super professional, and so much fun. We will definitely be taking the bus again. Thanks Sam, you're amazing!!!!

Despite this, Sam, the owner and guide for the trip provided us with an unforgettable experience. We started off with a visit to a dispensary. The staff at the dispensary was extremely knowledgable, and our product was discounted, as we were with a tour. We then stopped for food at food trucks up on the Northeast side of town. We then ventured to Multnomah Falls, which were absolutely beautiful. We ended with a trip to a coffee roaster, and then were dropped back off where were staying. I highly recommend this tour company! Sam was very friendly, knowledgable, and funny. Smoking on the bus was awesome, and the drive to Multnomah Falls was absolutely beautiful.

Was gifted a Forktown Food Tour and WOW was it amazing! It was the perfect way for locals and…read morevisitors to see a different size of Portland. We just moved from Denver a few years ago so always looking for good eats! We decided to check out a neighborhood that we've never explored ourselves and we had such a great time. We took the Mississippi Ave Tour and really enjoyed the different eats that was picked out for us! We started at the food carts and had some delicious BBQ then walked a couple blocks and got to try this delicious glass noodle salad and local wine. Honestly, I was pretty full already from those first two stops but we had two more to go! We ended up going to a local brewery as well as a dairy-free ice cream shop! Being lactose intolerant, I was ECSTATIC to know that this ice cream place was all dairy free! Everyone was pleasantly surprised at the texture of the ice cream and the different flavors that was offered! Being locals we weren't sure what to expect in a group setting but everyone was a joy to be with. Our group consisted of friends celebrating a birthday and a married couple that was visiting for the weekend from Seattle. Our guide Heidi lead us on a delicious trip around Portland and cannot wait to attend her other tours or even possibly her food tours abroad! It was such a pleasure to spend a lovely Saturday with Heidi.

The Forktown Food tour was Forking Fabulous (surely I'm not the first one to capitalize on such…read morealliteration?). Ariel, our tour guide, immediately won points in my book for being both an artist and a New Mexican native. These traits are not what made her an apt, knowledgeable, or personable tour guide, per say, but they're what made me see my reflection in her mirror. "Hey! I'm an artist (writer) from New Mexico and a food tour guide, too!" With that said, Ariel did an awesome job. She knows her history, her food, her city, and has a fun personality to tie it all together. Our group was a mix of locals and travelers, solo eaters (yours truly) and a group of friends. We all got along great, and enjoyed every stop. What I enjoyed most about this was 1) the location. Mississippi Ave is a gem! Get out of downtown and explore this place! 2) the diversity of dining. I'm not well-versed enough in Korean Mexican food to know what to order at a food cart, same with Thai cuisine (um, Pad Thai? Yes I am that uneducated), so I was glad to have a great dish handed to me. Also, I liked the balance of savory, sweet, and even vegetables, and the fact it moved like a progressive meal (salad, appetizer, main, palate cleanser, dessert). I definitely recommend!

Let's paint this town orange!…read more After five years of planning, Milwaukie is now all about the Orange (Line). I don't think I've ever seen such excitement in downtown Milwaukie. Streets were closed, the Sunday Farmer's Market was open on a Saturday, it was free comic book day and folks in character costumes wandered the streets. There were food carts, live music and orange everywhere you looked to celebrate the long awaited grand opening of the Orange Line to Milwaukie. Kudos to the event organizers. This is the main station in the downtown area. There is also one more station further south where the line terminates on SE Park Avenue and that station has a large parking structure. The biggest difficulty here were the traffic lights and pedestrian crossings. I don't think they are timed quite right just yet and hopefully they'll make adjustments to help the flow of auto and foot traffic around the station. But, aesthetically it is nicely designed with some cute sayings printed in the concrete like, "On trains we stand shoulder to shoulder." I hope the businesses in the area get a nice little bump in business.
