Traveler advice
What to pack
Umbrella and rain jacket
Oregon is known for rain most of the year except for at least few weeks of summer. But you are surrounded with one of the most scenic nature that is always green and you will breathe one of the freshest air.
But if downtown and big city feel is what makes you excited; Portland is just around the corner with rich history, eclectic culture and always proud to be weird.
