You never have to go far in Portland to see the bright colors of fall. Here are a few spots to visit in the coming days while there’s sun, and in the coming weeks to enjoy the red maples, yellow sour gums, and orange persimmon leaves.
A few trees are approaching their peak. Also: learn your trees from their catalog of all their plants. Check out their maple trail in the coming weeks.
There's a wide variety of trees about to burst into color and fine evergreens.

The first bit of color. (Portland Japanese Garden)
Perhaps my favorite spot is the Japanese Garden. They predict the brightest colors are still to come.
