"King of Roads" Columbia River Highway - Portland, Oregon
"King of Roads"
This stunningly beautiful highway opened in 1916 to claims of its scenic grandeur and remarkable engineering, this is what Teddy Roosevelt said about the highway. It got the name “King of Roads” from the Illustrated London News. The roadway winds through the area with mossy stone walls and graceful viaducts and going past dozens of waterfalls.
Oregon Train Trips
As a child, I often dreamed of going somewhere on a train. Pretty much anywhere really; as long as I got to ride that cool locomotive. What is it about children and trains? We always adore them when we're young. Unfortunately, I think the classic appeal of train trips has gone out the window.
