The 4T trail: Is this the best urban adventure in Portland?

from Peak Northwest · host The Oregonian/OregonLive

Portland has a lot of great places to see and things to do, but there’s nothing quite like this. On this week’s episode of Peak Northwest, we take a trip along the 4T Trail, a roughly 9-mile loop that takes combines public transit with hiking trails, taking visitors on an epic tour of Southwest Portland. The 4T Trail covers a lot of ground, from the Willamette River way up to Council Crest, over to Washington Park and down to downtown. The four T’s stand for the four modes of transportation used throughout the journey: tram, trail, train and trolley. Here are some highlights from this week’s show: What is the 4T Trail route? What it’s like to tackle the whole thing. While most of the trail is easy to do, there are a couple of dicey sections. Some advice on doing the 4T Trail yourself. Learn more about your ad choices.
