Someone asked “what about if you’re not downtown and want to see the fall colors?” Well, I’m glad you asked, dear reader. As it happens, being at Hotel deLuxe you’re very close to the prime spot: Forest Park.

Forest Park is like the Disneyland of fall colors. It’s like it was dreamed up by George Lucas’ Industrial Light and Magic studios. It’s like a Christo installation. And it’s also one of the largest urban parks in the U.S.

You don’t get the downtown Portland shopping at the end of your walk, but you can break it up with stops at the Rose Garden and the Japanese Garden. Even the zoo, if you want to see what the animals think of fall in Portland.

And just in case? You might as well bring an umbrella…

See ya,
Emily
