The Grotto
photo by Marisa Swenson
Located at the base of Rocky Butte, The Grotto is a great place to get away for a second and enjoy some peace and quiet in a busy, noisy city. Technically, it is a 62 acre Catholic shrine carved into the hill of the mountain but you don’t have to be Catholic to enter and enjoy the beautiful plants and wildlife. Stop into the gift shop and get a token to ride the elevator that is built into the rock wall that will take you to the top of the hill/mountain. Up top you will find the Meditation Chapel (you know that glowing white cross you see coming to Portland on the 205? that’s what it is) which is a sound proof room designed for you to meditate. I will have to admit though if you walk up to the floor to ceiling glass window that runs flush with the mountains cliffs, it give you a slight rush thinking you might actually be able to fall off of it (not recommended trying if there are actually people in there meditating).
