岩洞露天教堂占地62英亩绿地，就像一颗稀有的宝石，僻静的隐藏在俄勒冈州的波特兰市内。进入岩洞露天教堂，首先映入眼帘的是一座耶稣雕像，他背着十字架代替世人受苦，诉说着庄严与神圣。旁边的一座座石楠树形成了幽静曲折的小径。树林后面便是露天教堂了。这里有一座高达110英呎的悬崖石壁，十分庄严。岩洞的中心有一座真人大小的圣母恸子像，这便是著名的米开朗基罗“ Pieta ”的大理石复制品。岩洞内的安宁与静穆，雕像上圣母哀伤的表情，会令游客不自主的驻足停步，虔敬之情油然而生。悬崖峭壁之上，还有幽静的空中花园，只要购买3元美金的代币，便可搭乘高塔电梯而上，这也被称作通往世外桃源的唯一途径。许多游人来此都会感受到一段心灵之旅。
