The Gothic arches of the St. Johns Bridge soar overhead like a cathedral nave, and the park beneath it is one of Portland's most quietly stunning public spaces. On a foggy morning, the bridge disappears into the mist and the whole scene looks like something out of a fairy tale. Bring a blanket, bring a book, bring nothing at all. Just sit under those arches and look up.
Insider tip
Go at dawn on a foggy morning. The bridge emerging from the mist is one of the most photogenic moments in the city, and you'll have the park to yourself.
