AMAZING VIEWS of the city! It is worth taking this ride, it is a short trip (just 45 minutes) but it leaves you with unforgettable views of Portland. Once at the top, you can sit, relax and admire the lanscape. Keep in mind that the tram terminal is closed on Sundays!

We are staying at Hotel Rose. My daughter has a appt at Shriners 8/31/21. Is the tram within walking distance from the hotel? If we need to drive how far away is the tram from Hotel Rose? Where would we park and is it free to Shriners Hospital?

Rachel Ellis | Aug 8, 2021
Sam Taylor | Aug 9, 2021

The hotel is not within walking distance unless you're both up for a mile and a half walk. If you have to drive, it may be easier for you to drive up the hill to Shriners rather than taking the tram. But if you have to take the tram, parking is free to patients. There's signs for parking.
