Portland is a good option for solo travelers (especially if you have a car!) because it’s pretty inexpensive, and there are TONS of nature activities. You get the best of both worlds! Stay within the city for some killer restaurants, then venture out to the Columbia River Gorge for hiking trails, walk along Oregon’s Cannon Beach, or savor wine tastings in the Willamette Valley. I just LOVED my solo wine tasting experiences at Ponzi and Soter Vineyards; just don’t forget to ship a few bottles home! If you’ve been interested in checking out Portland, don’t miss my FULL write-up (where I confess my absolute love for this region) in my Ultimate Pacific Coast Highway Road Trip Itinerary!
