The early tour guest gets the spectacular views. We’ll meet you on the edge of downtown Portland, where you will have a chance to pick up coffee (or tea). We will head over to OHSU, where we will walk with you to the Aerial Tram. We’ll ride up this feat of Swiss engineering up to the top as the early sun reveals the city’s glowing colors. Once there, depending on sunrise timing and weather, we'll watch the sun crest the horizon, or check out the city views in the early morning light. After we ride back to the bottom, we'll tell you the story of the bridge and its quixotic lights, and orient you to the city whose east-west divider lies before us. The Aerial Tram was built in 2006 to connect the main campus of Oregon Health Sciences University with the new neighborhood of the South Waterfront. We will be joining students and medical staff on their daily tram ride!

Q&A

Q: Is there a weight limit for the aerial tram ride?

A: No, there’s no specific weight limit for the tram, but it can hold around 78 people at once. Just make sure to be mindful of your comfort level since it can get a bit cramped when it’s busy. Also, if you’re claustrophobic, you might want to go during a less crowded time for a better experience!

Q: What time does the sunrise tram tour usually start?

A: The sunrise tours usually start about 30 minutes before sunrise, so it varies depending on the time of year. In summer, that could be around 5 AM, while in winter, it could be closer to 7 AM. Just check a sunrise calendar for accurate timing! It’s super worth it for the views.

Q: What should I wear for the aerial tram ride?

A: Dress in layers! Mornings can be quite cool at the top, so a light jacket over a t-shirt works great. Sneakers are a good idea since there’s some walking involved. And don’t forget your sunglasses for when the sun comes up!

Thinking of gifting the aerial tram ride with doughnuts!

I’m considering this experience for my sister's birthday since she loves early mornings and good food! I've heard the views are stunning, especially at sunrise. Can anyone share tips on the best time to go or any must-try doughnut recommendations? I want it to be a special gift!

Just did the sunrise tram ride—totally worth it!

I went on this tram ride last weekend, and it was incredible! We had perfect weather, and the city looked so beautiful with that early light. Plus, the doughnut from the local shop was a delicious bonus. Just make sure to get there early for parking; it gets busy!
