90 minutes from the ski slopes and campgrounds of the Cascade
Mountains, Hillsboro's convenient location makes it the perfect home
base for visitors eager to explore northwest Oregon.
Hillsboro
is home to parks, museums, recreation areas, hotels, motels, bed and
breakfasts, a variety of restaurants, and several shopping
districts. Within
minutes in any direction by car, visitors find Oregon's best
wineries, world-class golf courses, wildlife viewing areas, hiking
and biking trails, boating and fishing.
In the surrounding rural area, you'll find rich farmland that
produce everything from vegetables to berries and nuts, heavily
forested hills and mountains, and ranching operations that raise
alpacas, bison, and cattle (be on the lookout for the Oreo cookie
cows to the west of Hillsboro.
A
short light-rail ride to the east will take you to Washington Park,
the Oregon Zoo, Western Forestry Center, and downtown Portland with
its countless attractions.
