This viewpoint is at the Pittock Mansion 1000 feet above sea level. The view is wonderful. Not only do you have the city of Portland set below you, but you also have the spectacular view of Willamette River. On a clear day, you can also see the Columbia River and the five volcanic mountains which surround Portland.
Pittock Mansion is maintained by Portland Parks and Recreation. There is a fee to tour the mansion, but there is not fee to tour the grounds. The gate closes at 9:00 PM, so if you want a night shot, you'll have to go when the sun sets before 9PM.
This view point is wheelchair assessable. There are paved pathways all the way from the parking area to the viewpoint, on the other side of the house.
