I currently live just beyond the upper left of this image on the Washington side of the mighty Columbia River. As you head east, on either side really but especially on the Oregon side of the Columbia, the river passes through (actually it exits) one of the most scenic places in the world, the Columbia River Gorge:




Waterfalls abound here, the highest being Multnomah Falls




Others include Triple Falls



Bridal Veil Falls




Most of these actually tumble more than fall (aside from Ponytail Falls), however...




...my unquestioned favorite is the grand Latourell Falls, of which a tiny stream drops 249 feet off an immense basalt boulder.




There is a trail all the way around the falls. It's tied for my favorite spot in my home state. There's at least a couple more to come...

Going west from Portland, you pass through the bucolic Oregon Coast Range




There's many great places on the Oregon Coast, the stunning Manzanita beach




Seaside and Lincoln City are party towns in summer






...but my favorite is lovely little Cannon Beach




A beautiful downtown





Haystack Rock




It's been way too long (2006) since I've been there, hopefully soon


There's a third favorite spot. I've only been there once, in 2013, but I will never forget it even if I never get back there. I'm hoping to return this summer...

I can't believe I almost forgot Bruce's Candy Kitchen. My earliest memories of Cannon Beach from the early '70's were this amazing little candy store, specializing in handmade salt water taffy

Though I visited many places so far. But few places have taken my heart fully like- Sundarbans, Cox's Bazar, Rangamati and also outside my country Taj Mahal in India was really fantastic. I never forget of that places anymore.

Well, I'd rather relocate than dislocate.

What?

I might be planning a trip to the far-flung Isles of Langerhans.

Make sure to stop off at the Sphincter of Oddi.
