There's a reason I call Portland, Oregon home. Portland is one of the best cities in the US for biking, hiking, and just being queer. Portland boasts the largest independent bookstore in the nation, a women's bookstore, great live music and a queer party almost every night of the week. But don't spend all your time indoors, get out and hike the many miles of trails in Forest Park. Best time to Visit: The weather is beautiful in the Fall, but if you like rain, come in the Winter or Spring.
