PDX Bridge Walk Tour
Saturday, October 22
9 a.m.-1 p.m. | $16 | All Ages
No Pre-Registration Required
Contact Nancy Harger at Portland Parks & Outdoor Recreation 503-823-5132, or tour guide Nathan Hoover at 503-200-4140.
On this downtown waterfront walk, we tour the largest mechanical structures in Oregon. We will begin our walk at the corner of NW 2nd & Everett, on the covered steps of the NW Natural Building.
From there, we'll visit bridge museum, meet a bridge operator, and test for synchronous vertical excitation. We'll end our walk with a no-host family-style lunch in Chinatown (extra $). We'll do about a mile of walking, crossing at least three bridges, and seeing about ten in all. Walks are ADA accessible.

I would love to win these tickets. My boyfriend and I are unemployed and we are looking for interesting, FREE, outdoor activities to keep us busy during the fall.

I’m hoping I can go because I missed the organized walks part of the Bridge Festival this year. (if there even was one)

i’m an engineer and no nothing about these massive structures….this may actually disqualify me

My daughter is in 3rd grade & learning about the bridges, she would love this.

The rest of the described event sounds great, but I am absolutely positive that I need to test for synchronous vertical excitation. Heh.

I need something like this, so I can expose my kid to technology.
It will help give him the answer to the burning question,”Dad why am I doing all this math? What is it for??”

I work for the city in a post where I’m less connected to city planning than I’d like to be. Please help me fulfill my dreams of planning and learning from this great city!
