A fun way to see a part of Portland!

Nanci, our guide was funny and knowledgeable. It was a cool experience to see the tram and hear about why it was implemented in Portland! The stop at Blue Star donuts was yummy!

Coffee at Ovation Station made the trip!

The gondola ride was nice, however, it's not really a tourist attraction, as it is a commuter tram. Both up and down rides were full of people going to work. I think throwing in the "tourist attraction" was an after thought for sure. The coffee at Ovation Station was DELICIOUS and the highlight of the trip. Donuts were very heavy and oily- not a fan-we heard a lot of history from the tourist guide though.

Beautiful view

It was a fun ride to the top and beautiful views from the hospital. Nice to enjoy the view with coffee and donuts.

Nice way to start the day.

Tour guide was really knowledgeable about the neighborhood and Portland in general. She’d grown up there in the 50s. Beautiful view. Fun to learn something new about the city.
