Review:<\/strong>\u00a0January 6, 2017.
\nFrom OMSI, go along the riverfront, passing underneath Hawthorne Bridge, and taking the sidewalk. Loop up to the bridge deck, turn right, and walk over the Hawthorne Bridge. In the summer you are about 50 feet above the water. Enjoy the nice views Portland and the Willamette River along with the other pedestrians and 8,000 bicycles that use the bridge each day. At the far end of the bridge follow the curved sidewalk around as it drops back down to the riverfront walkway.<\/p>\n

As you continue along the waterfront you will pass back underneath the Hawthorne Bridge, which opened in 1910. The two tall green steel towers on either side of the drawbridge are 165 feet tall. Next you go along the end of Waterfront Park, skirting a large grassy area where summertime concerts are held such as the Waterfront Blues Festival.<\/p>\n

Follow the sidewalk back to the riverfront passing the River Place Hotel and several shops with plenty of places to sit and take in the view. Pass a small boat moorage as you go along the waterfront and continue along next to the buildings which will lead away from the river a bit. Cross Southwest River Parkway, turn right, go one block, and turn left on Southwest Moody Ave.<\/p>\n

Pass the Residence Inn by Marriott and then underneath the double deck of the Marquam Bridge high above. Just a bit farther is the approach to Tilikum Crossing. Use a crosswalk to go over the tracks and walk over the bridge.<\/p>\n

At the end of the talking Crossing turn right on South East 2nd Place and loop around the Portland Opera building, returning to the riverfront. Complete your loop, going past the USS Blueback, moored in the Willamette, and OMSI.<\/p>\n

This is a great trail for children as you can turn around at any time, the trails are fairly wide, and there are shops where you can get a snack.<\/p>\n

Enjoy the photos!!
