I was looking at taking my wife to Portland for our 15th anniversary this past year. Then I got talking to someone who lived there and he basically said "stay away". We ended up going to Vermont instead. We are more country folk anyway, so staying out of the cities sounds more our speed!

We drive everywhere so enjoy road trips to see places. You could do a trip up the Sierras staying only on mountain highways and it would keep you out of most of the cities and going through all the small towns. Hwy 49 started in the town I grew up in and runs north past Sacramento and hits all the 49er towns.
