Pros: Nice views due to big bus windows and timely arrival. Cons: Maybe get a speaker of some sort so we can hear the driver better. Due to the driver wearing a mask, it was hard to hear what she was saying in the middle and going to the back of the bus. Tips: Always have a mask handy, you never know who’s going to require you to have one… it’s just how it is now…. Make sure you think about the travel trip after the bus ride as well.

Or, kick back at one of the many breweries in the #3 best city for craft beer in the United States. Unique locations like McMenamin's brewpubs in renovated cinemas or historic hotels do their part to "keep Portland weird."
