4T Trail overview

Starting at the base of the Tram [or at Tilikum Crossing, for more options], the Portland Streetcar takes one through many of Portland’s finest neighborhoods, and past most of its landmarks and diverse dining. Next, the MAX connects to Providence Park, home of the Timbers and Thorns, and through a long tunnel to the Oregon Zoo and Washington Park with its many amenities, including Hoyt Arboretum. A taxing hiking trail takes one up to Council Crest, highest point in the city with views to prove it; another taxing hike gets one down, and then up again, to the Portland Aerial Tram for an awe-inspiring ride back to the Streetcar below, about four hours later. Phew!
