SPRING BREAK!

Spring is here and whether you are laying low or taking a small road trip or grand vacation, it’s a great time to enjoy the great outdoors. For the last few months, we’ve been cozying up indoors with our loved ones, and now it feels good to get out! Take a look below at some fun ways to take a break this spring.

PORTLAND’S NATURAL AMENITIES

Portland proper and Oregon are teeming with amazing sites and sounds, thrills and natural beauty, great food, and fantastic entertainment. Oregon wine country, the mighty Pacific Ocean and majestic Columbia River Gorge, Mt Hood, and the high desert landscapes of central Oregon are just a handful of the wonders our state has to offer! No matter what outdoor adventure you have in mind, Portland is just a hop, skip, and jump away from all of these great destinations!

Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden (https://www.crystalspringsgardenpdx.org) is in SE Portland near Reed College. Part of Portland Parks & Rec, membership starts at $40/yr with over 2,500 species of rhododendrons and azaleas plus the garden is fed by 13 actual springs pumping 6,000 gallons of water per minute. Every year there is a bald eagle couple that builds a nest and have their babies. The best viewing spot is late spring at the north end of the parking lot with binoculars. Being a member I can see the garden in all four seasons change. It’s ADA and dog friendly (leashed and behaved). The garden is occupied by lots of wildlife: squirrels, nutria, beaver, and lots of ducks and geese. On a lucky day, you may see a heron. Don’t miss the annual rhododendron sale where you can purchase some limited quantity varieties for your own garden. This place is perfect for weddings and large events. I come here when I need a pause in my day or week. There are many benches to sit with your thoughts and that’s why this garden is one of my many mental sanctuaries!
