For a perfect Portland proposal, enjoy the day traveling to numerous waterfalls with your sweetie by your side!

Be sure to pack a romantic picnic lunch and wear sturdy hiking boots if you plan to make it to some of the falls that are off the so-called beaten path. Multnomah Falls is by fall the most iconic and popular falls, meaning you’d have plenty of people around to photograph your big moment.
