Early tour guests are treated to breathtaking views. The meeting point is on the edge of downtown Portland, where guests can grab a coffee or tea. The tour proceeds to OHSU, where participants will walk to the Aerial Tram. This marvel of Swiss engineering will take everyone to the top, as the early sun illuminates the city with vibrant colors. Depending on the timing of the sunrise and the weather, guests will either witness the sun rising over the horizon or enjoy the city views in the morning light.
