Why this plan works

The 3 stops cover about 2.2 miles total, which keeps you in one pocket of Portland instead of crossing town between them. Pittock Mansion is the main event and takes the biggest block of time; the other stops are built around it. It finishes at Drip Drop Coffee — a short, low-effort stop you can skip if you're ready to call it. Best suited to solo, couples, friends, and adults who want a planned Portland outing without improvising between stops.
