McMenamins Oregon City

Location: McMenamins Oregon City, which is an easy, fun bike ride on the 205 path. As McMenamins points out, this pub is an old church located in the first incorporated city west of the Rocky Mountains: Oregon City, a town that dates back to 1829.


Nice patio:

Fellow travelers: I brought Kristin & Todd for a summer bike adventure!


Favorite light: None.

Favorite art: Love the clock the most, but Hehn is always great. Who can resist a man riding a fish? Or a frog playing the bagpipes?


 

Food: Busy day for them: we waited 45mins for a wine flight and food. Good thing we snacked on crackers, goat cheese and dried plums on the Clackamas river before reaching Oregon City!



Passport stamps: McMenamins Oregon City, Wine Flight, Bike



Other items of note:
  • Sadly, this location doesn't have milkshakes. Which would otherwise make it the perfect biking destination.
  • How much do I love the Oregon Municipal Elevator? Answer: A lot. After McMenamins we took the elevator to the McLoughlin Promenade. One of my very favorite place in the Metro areas is at the southern end of the Promenade, a flat cliff under a large shady tree overlooking Willamette Falls. Then we biked home!
