St. Helens, Oregon is off the beaten path, but it’s the nearest escape for Portland’s urban dwellers. This eclectic, post-industrial (emphasis off the “post”)… small town is the perfect setting for an old-fashioned family getaway, the kind you remember from your childhood. And despite the fact that it’s lacking in gimmicky tourist trap attractions, your kids will think its cool. Hollywood has also determined it to be a perfect setting for a few movies. Maybe you’ve heard of Twilight?
