Mount Tabor Park's trails scale an extinct cinder cone volcano and meander alongside three reservoirs that once supplied the city with drinking water. In a city besotted with farmers' markets, the Saturday PSU Farmers Market is the biggest, and the only one that operates year-round. The many color-coded rooms in Powell's City of Books including a rare book room filled with signed copies and first editions hold more than half a million volumes total.
A pass to Cascada Thermal Springs & Spa, part of a new wellness-themed hotel, includes three hours of soaking in a silent subterranean oasis. Forest Park's 5,200 acres make it among the largest urban forests in the nation, and a great place to give hiking a try without having to spend hours in the car. The Witch's Castle (officially the Macleay Park Shelter or Stone House) was originally constructed as a picnic shelter and restroom, but today it's a popular hiking and photography destination.
A lush one-acre forest garden of ferns and Oregon grape in Alberta Park is Portland's first designated nature patch, part of an initiative to create natural environments in urban areas for people and wildlife alike. Division Wines, which started as a bottle shop and eventually expanded to include a bar, serves half glasses, flights and wines of the day accompanied by nibbles sourced from Portland purveyors.
