Out trip to the OHSU tram

OHSU (Oregon Health and Sciences University) stands on the top of the hill a little to the South of downtown Portland. At the base of the hill is a tram which has now been operational for just over 2 years - it was opened not long after we first moved over in August 2006. We thought that being that it was such a lovely day, we would go an take a ride on the tram to the top. As you can see by the photographs below, it is a pretty amazing view on a great day. 

The day was very cold, but the view was spectacular. The large mountain with the pointy peak is Mount Hood - the largest peak in Oregon, the mountain missing its top off to the left is Mount St Helens, which lost its top back in 1980.
