Gresham is the launching pad for all things outdoors and for all appetites. Quick access from Portland International Airport, avoiding the congestion of downtown Portland just head east. Oregon’s fourth largest city has quite a bit of character attracting all types of visitors.  Historic downtown is home to many bronze  life-size works of art on street corners.  While enjoying the one-of-a-kind art, aromas from the many authentic ethnic restaurants will compete for business.

But nothing encourages a visitor to stay longer or come back again like great cuisine.  No parking meters and wide sidewalks welcome visitors to the quaint historic downtown.  Chose between Greek, Italian, Mexican, Chinese, Japanese, Ethiopian, Salvadoran, Indian, Korean, Hawaiian, Middle Eastern, Filipino, or have a juicy American hamburger.  Coffee bistros are on many street corner and parks are abundant.  

The landscape of Gresham is remarkable.  Once the raspberry capital of the world, is still a desirable place to not only call home but to visit.  Hiking the local buttes, including Shane T. Bemis Nature Park with a panoramic view of Mt. Hood, Mt. St. Helens, Mt Adams, MT Rainer, the Columbia River Gorge, and the city of Gresham can be seen. The easy paths will fill the day for all hiking levels.

Multnomah Falls, the iconic Columbia River Gorge, and Mt. Hood are within a short drive from historic downtown.  Perhaps a day of salmon fishing on the Sandy River or sturgeon and bass fishing on the Columbia are on the agenda.  Professional guides will deliver a successful and informative fishing experience.

Gresham is the convenient launching pad for a trip to Oregon.  From outdoor bronze art, free live music concerts all summer to spectacular views and comfortable lodging, Gresham is bike friendly, family friendly, and pet friendly.  We can’t wait to welcome new and returning visitors.
