I take the tram daily, so maybe I'm desensitized, but the views from the Rose Test Gardens are pretty much the same.

My girlfriend and I are fairly new to Portland, and one day this Spring we found ourselves on the Springwater Corridor and we couldn't help but wander around Oaks Amusement Park. What a great place! With a roller skating rink! And some really great views of the river and Downtown via the tiny ferris wheel. Long-time Reader, First-time Commenter.

Also a stroll up Hawthorne. Mt. Tabor Park. Washington Park. A meander through The Pearl and Northwest Portland, maybe on the streetcar. Jimmy Maks for jazz. Lunch at Piazza Italia. Those are some of the many things I like to do in Portland. Oh, and if it's hot, I love that crazy speedboat ride that takes off from OMSI. I’d do the tram. Also a stroll up Hawthorne. Mt.

David: Two trails I like are both local to my neighborhood, I am sure there are better ones but I like Springwater Corridor and Oaks Bottom Wildlife Refuge. Hoyt Arboretum is another great place that I haven't been in years but I plan to go this summer. You should check out: <a href="http://www.portlandonline.com/parks/finder/" rel="nofollow">http://www.portlandonline.com/parks/finder/</a> if you are new to Portland. It can help you find some good green spaces. Rusty & Dave: The Tram is a great idea and since it's newish I haven't been there, and the hike would be nice to round it out, I may be e-mailing you shortly. Thanks!!
