terrikoI arrived in Portland a few days early to play tourist. Here's two cool things I took pictures of that I wanted to share with other GHC11 attendees!
My friend Jen (@jenred) took me out before GHC11 for some hiking and beautiful views. It's amazing the sort of natural beauty you can find not far from the city! I looooved the waterfalls, since I just moved to the desert and damp Portland just seems extra lush and beautiful.
A cool thing to do at lunch or after the conference: Take the Tram up to the top of the ridge. Lots of great space for the view of the city and photo opportunities, and it only costs $4 for the tram + $2 for the trolley to get you there. (It's just past the edge of the free zone, sadly!) You can definitely walk the last stop, but it's a bit noisy with construction so I just paid the $2 and then used it as an excuse to ride the streetcar loop to see the area. So pretty with the fall leaves changing!
