This 3.5-mile walk begins when we arrive at the Lloyd Center. After a brief stop at the DoubleTree, we will walk a few blocks to catch the A Loop Trolley to cross the new Tilikum Bridge. We will then walk across both sides of the bridge before checking out the Willamette River from the new South Waterfront Greenway, which opened in May of this year. From here we will head to the Spaghetti Factory for lunch. On the way back to the bridge, we will pass through a garden park before catching the B Loop Trolley that takes us back to MAX lines near the Lloyd Center. Bring your camera, water, and snacks and wear comfortable walking shoes. Please purchase your “All Day” MAX ticket in advance of getting to the City Hall platform so that we can validate tickets and leave on time.
