Portlanders are among the most fortunate city dwellers when it comes to greenspace. The Pacific Northwest's unique climate produces some of the most stunning flora including a variety of giant coniferous trees. With enormous urban parks like Forest Park, Mt Tabor Park, and Tryon Creek State Park, Portlanders are able to escape into these spectacular forests without even leaving city limits.
