Pittock Mansion

One of the best views in Portland Oregon all for free. The views are treasures by many who live here for good reason, as the moment you see Mt. Hood and the rest of the city on a clear day your breath will be taken away and you'll gain an appreciation for the beauty of our city. One of my favorite spots to climb to by bike (very hard but fun!) and one of my favorite spots to enjoy thirty minutes of our beautiful city and nature.

This place is so beautiful in and out. If you come here and don’t do the inside tour you’ll enjoy the surroundings just the same. The exterior and the landscaping not to mention the viewpoint of down town Portland are just amazing. There’s a trail as well if you want to go on a hike. There’s a gift shop and public restrooms. You’ll have to lay for parking and for the inside tour of the mansion. We enjoyed the tour and recommend doing it if your ever up here.

We took the tour with about a dozen other people. Our guide took us to the basement areas and the top floor and every place in between. The cost was very reasonable for the tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and made the tour interesting.
