Are there any mountains two hours (about) west from Portland, Oregon? -

I was just wondering if there were any mountains two hours or so west of Portland, Oregon. Yes, if you were to look at an Oregon map, just head west. Are there? How far do they reach out from? Do they have wildlife and many trees and nature stuff on them? If they do have wildlife...what kind of predators do they contain? Or at least what kind of animals?

There is Tillamook State Forest!http://www.oregon.gov/ODF/TSF/tsf.shtmlThe website should answer most of your questions! :)

Two hours west of Portland��by auto��would be in the Pacific Ocean. That is, unless traffic were really, really slow.About one hour west of Portland is the Oregon Coast Range, a mountain range that runs north and south along the entire Oregon coast. It varies in width (east-west) from 20 to 30 miles or so. In most places it goes right up to the ocean s edge. However the larger coastal cities are areas where there is a gap between the ocean and the coast range. The widest are near Astoria and Tillamook with 4 to 10 miles of flat-lands.The second highest point on the northern coast range is Saddle Mountain, which has a hiking trail and is contained in a state park conveniently close to US Hwy 26. Saddle Mountain is 3,465 feet high. The highest peak is Rogers Peak, which I know nothing else about besides it is 3,706 feet high.Most of the range is forested��it contains two state forests. Trees include Sitka spruce, western redcedar, Douglas-fir, and western hemlock. There are abundant wood areas which include a variety of hardwoods including alder, cottonwood, maple, birch, and many others.The wildlife includes weevils, chipmunks, bears, rabbits, white-footed deer mice, Columbian Black tail deer, and others.

No, no there is not.
