Amtrak Cascades

Pros: Saved on fuel consumption and we could rest while we got to our destination in nearly the same amount of time as driving. Cons: Overall, coach class could be cleaner, it smelled bad when we first got on, but we got used to it. The bathroom smelled bad and looked like it needed cleaning. The dining car had very limited selection that we could eat. And the guy taking tickets was rude when I didn't know how it all worked as I'd never ridden the train before. Tips: Use the restroom before getting on the train. If you have any special dietary needs, plan to bring your own food.

Portland is the largest city in Oregon and accordingly one of the state's best vacation destinations. Also known as the City of Roses, this city along the Willamette River wows visitors with its diverse street food, quirky counterculture, and sprawling bookstores such as the world-famous Powell's Books.

Portland is the 5th best city in the United States for outdoor activities, thanks in part to open-air grounds like the expansive Forest Park. Gardens are also excellent outdoor date locales for couples on a romantic getaway: stop and smell the roses at either the International Rose Test Garden or the Portland Japanese Garden.

Once you've gotten hungry from a long day wandering outside, nearly every block downtown has a plethora of food trucks waiting to tickle your taste buds. Or, kick back at one of the many breweries in the #3 best city for craft beer in the United States. Unique locations like McMenamin's brewpubs in renovated cinemas or historic hotels do their part to "keep Portland weird."

As the biggest city in Oregon, Portland is a hub for travel throughout the Pacific Northwest. Amtrak train service and various bus services operate primarily out of Union Station, conveniently-located downtown, and nearby Portland International Airport makes it easy to travel to Portland from near and far.
