Sauvie Island
Great place! About 30 miles north of Portland–enjoy picking your own fruit at farms like Kruger’s and The Pumpkin Patch, or go to the beach and swim in the Columbia River! Great way to spend a day.
At the Pumpkin Patch, the CORN MAZE should be in operation in September (you can get spooked here at night, too!):

Swifts viewing
I feel SO lucky that this is going on while ya’ll are here.
“Join us on the lawn at Chapman School each evening in September for a spectacular display of Vaux’s Swifts as they gather to roost in the school’s chimney”
*Every dusk in September. This is seriously AWESOME.

Multnomah Falls
Oregon’s biggest attraction–a giant waterfall about 20-25 minutes from Portland right of I-84 East. Gets crowded but well worth it. Also there are lovely hikes that start here.
