South Waterfront Lower Tram Terminal
The Tram is a popular destination for tourists, locals and people just looking to try something fun. The lower tram terminal is at the intersection of South Moody Avenue & Gibbs Street --the most transportation-diverse intersection in the country. Besides one of the nation's only aerial commuter trams, you'll see cars, buses, a streetcar, a soaring pedestrian bridge, a cycle track and the densest bike parking in America's #1 biking city. Bike valet is offered free to the public at Portland Aerial Tram Monday through Friday. Exiting the upper terminal you'll see the largest enclosed sky bridge in North America. Take a right to access an outdoor patio with seating and views of the terminal, the cityscape, the Willamette River and, on a clear day, Mount Hood and Mount St Helens. The upper terminal links to the 4T Trail--a self-guided tour by train, trail, tram and trolley. Much of Marquam Hill is a natural area with several trails.

Devils Point
The Scene At Portland's rock 'n' roll strip club, pints of Pabst are $2.00 and IPA and micro drafts are $4.00 and under , while Jack-and-cokes run $6. Tall tables, bar stools and standers are clothed in red and lit with oil lamps, and red carpeting covers the floor. Spot lighting glows Lucifer red. Sexy strippers grace the chain-suspended stage while eager patrons enjoy the views. The Draw This friendly bar has everything you need: lascivious ladies, video poker and world class DJs that bump everything from Hank Williams to MIA. Bottled beer runs from New Castle to Sol, rounded out with domestics along with a wide variety of spirits. Sit at the bar and you'll never miss anyone entering or exiting. Picnic tables line the outside of the bar for smokers while strippers and karaoke singers collaborate every Sunday for world-famous Stripparaoke.

Willamette River
Runs through the city of Eugene, Oregon.
