The early tour guest gets the spectacular views. We’ll pick you up in central downtown Portland, and take our favorite drive along the city's western ridgeline, down into pocket neighborhoods that feel like secrets. At OHSU, we’ll walk with you to the Aerial Tram. We’ll serve you craft roasted coffee and some of Portland’s best doughnuts with a view of the first morning light, then we’ll ride this feat of Italian engineering up to the top as the early sun reveals the city’s glowing colors. (Due to new hours for some shops and varying sunrise times, coffee may be our first stop.)
After we ride back to the bottom, we'll tell you the story of the bridge and its quixotic lights, and orient you to the city whose east-west divider lies before us.
The Aerial Tram was built in 2006 to connect the main campus of Oregon Health Sciences University with the new neighborhood of the South Waterfront. We will be joining students and medical staff on their daily tram ride!

We will park at the southwest corner of Director Park (SW Taylor Street and Park / 9th Avenue). Look for our van under the Guild Theater sign on SW 9th Avenue; if that part of the street is occupied we will park elsewhere but we will come out to look for you right at 6:30. Our van arrives right at 6:30 and does not get to the pickup spot early.
