You’ll start your journey at the tram terminal located at the corner of SW Moody and Gibbs Streets. Ride your bike to the terminal if you’d like; there’s plenty of bike parking here, and bike valet if free for tram riders! The station is nicknamed “Chamanchal,” a Native American word for “by the river.”

Hop on one of the two tram cars, Jean or Walt. Jean gets her name from the first female engineering graduate at the university - Jean Richardson. Walt’s moniker comes from Walt Reynolds, who was the first African-American medical student to graduate from OHSU.

As you zip up the tram at 22 miles per hour, you’ll climb 500 feet per minute. This zippy form of transportation is a feat of engineering - and the views it offers of the city below are absolutely stunning.

During autumn months, when the leaves turn their vibrant hues of red, orange and yellow, the view is particularly appealing.
