the statue of christ at the top of mt. helena is fashioned after the famous one in, i think, brazil? it is huge. the way to get to it is by the tram which goes to the very top. where they try to sell you junky souvenirs and bottled beer and water. also at the top is a botanical garden of lush tropical cloud-loving plants, very wet. you can kill yourself on the wet moss all over the concrete steps, which are very steep, up and down and up and down. NO handrails. this is after they've plied you with beer.
