Oregon's "Rose City" is both green, as in eco-conscious, and green, as in lush, a river edged port city that's also a laid-back multi-cultural urban center with forest and mountains a stone's throw from downtown attractions.
Arch Rock is an ashflow tuff with a scenic arch and several small rockshelters eroded into the outcrop.
