Portland: US26 at Washington Park
Few places in Oregon have a history as closely tied to Portland’s public-park movement as Washington Park. Established in 1871, this wooded stretch of the Tualatin Mountains occupies Portland’s West Hills above the Willamette River valley. U.S. Route 26, known here as the Sunset Highway, skirts the park and enters the Vista Ridge Tunnel on its approach to downtown. Washington Park brings together the Oregon Zoo, Hoyt Arboretum and the International Rose Test Garden. Founded in 1917, the latter is the oldest continuously operating public rose test garden in the United States. Steep forested slopes, major transport and long-standing civic institutions meet here within a compact part of the city.

Portland sits on the Willamette River in northwestern Oregon, where the river flows north toward the Columbia and the Cascade Range defines the eastern horizon. Bridges connect its central districts, including the Steel Bridge, a historic vertical-lift crossing that carries road, rail and light-rail traffic. Downtown, Powell’s City of Books fills an entire block and reflects the city’s longstanding literary life. Washington Park is home to the Portland Japanese Garden and the International Rose Test Garden, established in 1917.

The Cascade Range and high desert define much of Oregon, shaping a state where forestry, farming, hydropower and outdoor recreation are central to regional life. The Columbia River forms much of its northern border, while the Willamette Valley supports fertile farmland between the Cascades and the Coast Range. Oregon’s Pacific shore is marked by long beaches, headlands and working coastal towns, and Crater Lake preserves the deep caldera of Mount Mazama in the south. Oregon City is associated with the historic end of the Oregon Trail, a reminder of the migration that transformed the nineteenth-century American West.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
