Rocky Butte is the perfect place for a romantic view. After winding your way up to the top, you'll find the small park. On the top is a small fortress and a revolving light (otherwise known as the bat symbol). From this view you can see how Portland sprung from the crossing of the Williamette and the Columbia rivers.
In the evening, the sunset is magnificant and the city lights come alive. You can see Mt. Hood and Mt. St. Helens perfectly if you get there before the sun sets. If you bring your binoculars you can follow the jets landing and taking off at the airport or spy on the traffic below. Not many know about or visit this sight so don't be afraid of a crowd. On the clear summer night we visited, there were about 20 people there. All to watch the sunset and hang about. This is just one of the places that will make you fall in love with Portland.
