Pittock Mansion: A Portland Icon with Million-Dollar Views!

Just visited Pittock Mansion, the historic estate perched atop Portland’s West Hills—and wow, even in the snow flurries, this place dazzles! ❄️✨ 💰 Why It’s Worth the $15 Ticket: ✔ No annoying shuttle buses—park right at the entrance (cough unlike some tourist traps cough). ✔ Stunning city + mountain views from the hilltop gardens (better than Atlanta’s Swan House, IMHO!). ✔ Gilded Age glamour—think intricate woodwork, vintage furnishings, and serious PNW history. 🏡 Inside Scoop: The mansion itself? Elegant but cozy—like a very rich grandpa’s house. The panoramic windows facing Mt. Hood are worth the trip alone. #PittockMansion #PortlandViews #HistoricHomes #TravelPNW
