Guidebook for Portland
Essentials
Portland-based grocery chain. Pricier than Safeway, but its premium and more curated stuff. Great dining inside, too: made-to-order noodles, sandwiches, coffee, dessert. Make sure to head upstairs to enjoy the rooftop bar.

Parks & Nature
Not Reed College itself but Reed College Canyon.
Reed College Canyon is a 28-acre watershed that divides the north and south sides of the Reed College campus. It's an oasis in the middle of the city and a nice easy hike featuring native plants and wildlife.
The closest entrance to the canyon is found by heading west on SE Steele and turning left onto SE 37th until it dead ends. You will see a grassy field with paths into the canyon.
Walkable from our home.
