PDX station to HI Hostel NW

[KmH]

A heads up if you store bags at the Amtrak station and want to get to the HI Portland NW hostel at NW 18th & NW Glisan.

Of course we can walk the 1/2 mile to the hostel, catch a bus (#77), get a Lyft - or we can ride an 8 speed bike: https://www.biketownpdx.com/how-it-works
The bikes are out front of the station and there is a bike station a block from the hostel (NW Flanders & NW 18th)
This month (May '18) you can ride (single ride) for free.

The light rail MAX train from the airport stops 5 blocks (0.3 miles) from the hostel.

I like Portland, it has a somewhat more relaxed feel than many cities. I don't know if the tram/light rail has been extended since I last used that hostel, but I caught the 77 bus with my heavy bag. Recommend nearby "Trader Joes" for food supplies if you are cooking meals at the hostel. Happy memories of my visits to Portland.
