Parks & Nature
The house is located just less than 1 mile from the park. A great walk to and around. It's a large city park on an old volcano, just under 1000 ft high it has great views of downtown Portland and the entire SE portland. Hike the many trails - you loop them together to get up to 5 miles of trekking. Kids play park near the top and a couple of water reservoirs creating a diverse park experience.

Cheap and easy attraction if you have the time. While a unique and fun experience, the tram is not a tourist attraction but a part of the daily Portland commute for those working at OHSU the top of the hill - I'd park at the hospital and take it down to the South waterfront, jump on the streetcar and cruise into town and try an urban adventure with the carless 4T trail - Trail, Tram, Trolley, Train city loop!!!! Just look up Portland 4T trail online for details...:)
