The lights of the Portland skyline reflect into the clam waters of the Willamette River below. Located at the confluence of the Columbia and Willamette rivers, Portland is the third-largest port on the west coast and has become one of the nation's leading business-centers. No matter if it is day or night, this bustling city with a population of approximately 2 million offers endless entertainment.

Located 70 miles outside of city of Portland, Mount Hood forms a majestic backdrop to the state's largest city. On clear days several peaks of the Cascade Range can be viewed from the city, including Mount St. Helen's located in Washington. Portland's close-proximity to mountains, waterways, the Pacific Ocean and numerous other natural resources adds beauty to its urban charm.
