Best Scenic Route near Portland
Hey Portland cyclists! Visiting for a short trip and hoping to get a road bike ride in. Back home near SF, one of my favorite go-to routes is Conzelman Road in the Marin Headlands — a stunning climb with incredible views of the bridge and bay. It’s the kind of ride that feels like a must-do for anyone passing through.
Does Portland have anything comparable? I’m thinking scenic, maybe some elevation, and the kind of route locals are proud to show visitors. Preferably under 100 miles. I’m comfortable with climbing and will be renting a road bike. Open to anything in or within an hour distance of the city.
Thanks in advance — stoked to explore the PNW on two wheels!
