This tranquil Japanese garden is perfect for an intimate proposal. Japanese gardens are meant to be beautiful in any season, just like a good marriage.

4. Lan Su Chinese Garden

This garden is also full of beautiful places to propose, such as the teahouse or one of the courtyards. And even if it rains on that special day, there are places to take shelter as you pop the question, and many garden lovers say that it’s even more beautiful in the rain.

5. Hoyt Arboretum

If the woman or man you want to propose to is an environmentalist, the Hoyt Arboretum, designed to preserve endangered species, is a meaningful choice. With 12 miles of hiking trails, there are many gorgeous spots where you can propose.

6. Multnomah Falls

Multnomah Falls is just 30 minutes outside Portland and a beautiful spot for a romantic proposal. It can be crowded during summer weekends, so consider a quieter time for a private proposal.
