GET WILD when you’re visiting Portland
Many Farwest Show guests take the time to extend their stay in our partner hotels and make their trip to Portland more memorable with family and friends.

Here are a few stops to make while you’re in town. You’ll quickly discover why it isn’t hard to fall in love with the City of Roses!
