Portland 4 T's Hike

Hyrum and I bought a book that talks all about hikes you can take around Portland.  One that we wanted to do with the boys is called the "4 T's hike" which takes you on a "trail" a "tram" a "trolley" and a "train" (which is why they call it 4 T's).  It took us pretty much all afternoon and the boys got weary of hiking in their rain boots but we had a fun tim.

Here we are hiking on the "trail."  The trail is about a 4 mile hike through the forest.  I think we will save this hike for the summer next time because the boys had a hard time hiking so far in their rain boots.

Waiting for the "tram" to take us down into Portland.

The boys on the tram.  I think this was their favorite part of the hike.  The tram goes from one of the highest hills surrounding Portland and floats you over the city down to the river.  It's a fun way to see Portland from the air.

Here we are on the "trolley" but it was really just a street car.  I was hoping it would be more like a Mister Rogers neighborhood kind of trolley:)

Our last "T" for the day was the "train."  Julian loves riding on the train here in Portland:)

All in all it was a fun day and we got to see parts of Portland we hadn't before.  I think it's so great there  are hikes we can do right in the city of Portland.  Hopefully we will do more discovering once all this rain stops...probably in June or July:(
