Portland, seen from the Aerial Tram

Looking north from the Aerial Tram, the Ross Island Bridge running east and west across the bottom of the photo, the Marquam Bridge curving north and south.


The Marquam Bridge--the upper deck is I-5 northbound, the lower deck is I-5 southbound.


The Ross Island Bridge goes over the Willamette River between southeast and southwest Portland. At the right edge of the photo, about a third of the way up from the bottom, you can see the Aerial Tram. I'm not sure if it is coming up or going down.


Looking pretty much northeast, you can see lots of southeast, northeast and north Portland. The bridges are, from right to left, Marquam, Hawthorne, Morrison, and Burnside.

We hopped off and waited for the Portland Streetcar so that we could ride it to the Aerial Tram

The Aerial Tram, a close up I took while we were up at the top of Marquam Hill.

Scroll on down to see a photo of Mt. Hood.


A Portland Streetcar, like the one we would ride back to the corner where we would then hop back onto the Hop On Hop Off Big Pink Sightseeing Trolley.


While we waited for the streetcar to arrive, a Zipcar truck stopped at the corner. Pretty cool.


We rode the Aerial Tram to the top of Marquam Hill. Here's a photo of the next one arriving.


Mt. Hood from the observation deck at the Oregon Health Sciences University. I had to alter it some at Picnik, the haze was that bad. I like how it turned out.
