If you’ve been waiting for a sign to take the scenic route, this is it.

L.L. Stub Stewart State Park feels a little extra whimsical this time of year. Misty forested trails, mossy trees, little friends coming out of the woods and endless places to wander. This is the perfect place to soak in the fall vibes.

Don’t let the strip mall exterior fool you! Maridon’s Cafe & Malt Shop is the kind of classic breakfast spot locals know is worth the stop. Open at 7 a.m., it’s the perfect place to fuel up before a day of exploring Tualatin Valley.

This spot has nothing but hearty plates, bottomless coffee, and warm service. The corned beef hash and steak & eggs are local favorites for good reason.

📍3012 Pacific Ave # H, Forest Grove, OR 97116

Perched above the forest in a quiet meadow, Elk Moon is the kind of place that makes you want to slow down.

Wake up to views of Mt. Hood, Mt. St. Helens and Mt. Adams, hike right outside your door, and end the night under a sky full of stars. You might even share the meadow with deer, elk, bald eagles or osprey.

This spot is the coziest, off-grid retreat that feels secluded, while still being close to town.

Need a coffee break in Forest Grove? We know just the place.

Tucked inside an 1890 Victorian house just a block from Pacific University, Telvet Coffee is the coziest cafe find serving up espresso, specialty drinks, bubble tea and fresh pastries.
