Hi, I’m Alex—a photographer and dad of two. I’ve spent the last 5 years exploring every trail, park, and playground for family fun.
My goal is to save you time in planning and help you discover spots you might otherwise miss.
What started as weekend outings to keep the kids entertained grew into a full catalog of over 200 activities. From hidden waterfall hikes to splash pads, we document each experience with photos, route maps, and pro tips.
Whether you’re new to Portland or a lifelong resident, our site helps you find fresh adventures for all seasons.
