【Life】The pittock mansion of Portland

Have the opportunity to go to the pittock mansion for a walk. It is located in the west hills. To circle up. Narrow roads, drive with extreme caution.

Once there, park your car in their parking lot. Pay with the parkingkitty app again. This mansion has 46 rooms. It was built in 1914 by henry pittock and his wife. Henry was the owner of the oregonian news at the time. The villa has now been taken over by the Portland government.

From here, you can see the panorama of Portland. And in the distance is the famous mt. Hoots and the Columbia River Ditch in the distance. The weather was nice when we went. Snow covered mt hoots can be clearly seen in the distance. Many people take pictures here. I heard that when the weather is better, the scenery is even more charming. However, compared to mt rainier in Seattle, it is slightly inferior. Reminds me of when I used to live in Seattle, driving home every day on Route 5 from get off work. mt rainier is like right in front of you. That view will never be forgotten. My return route happened to be a layover from Seattle. See mt rainier in the air. That is spectacular. Unfortunately, I was on the other side of the plane and could only admire it across the aisle, and couldn't take pictures. But I am very happy to see mt rainer again with my own eyes. So shocking.

Although mt hoots are not as spectacular as mt rainier, it is also refreshing to see such a beautiful scenery. The natural scenery of the West Bank is much richer than that of the East Bank. Walking around in the mansion, there are flowers and trees everywhere, what kind of life was Henry pittock's family living here? I really want to thank them for giving people such beauty and history.
