It may not be as spectacular as the Aguille du Midi, nor is it as lengthy as Palm Springs, but the Portland Aerial Tram does get you from Point-A to Point-B the scenic way. Its over-budget $57 million price tag made it one of the most controversial transportation projects in Portland. However, $4 for the round-trip fare and no expense for biking to the tram via Springwater Trail and Hawthorne Bridge, it was a cheap day out.

I shot a few photos from the tram on the trip up and then from the upper terminal while waiting for the next car. The turnaround was quick for the return trip because I had to head back to Milwaukie for another event. I could not shoot photos tomorrow because the tram will not run for a week when the haul rope is replaced.
