The scenery here is very nice. You can, hike, bike or run on the trails. Again, you should have a camera here for the photos.

Loved the urban hike that was just a few minutes outside of the city. A must to counter the great food adventures that was going to happen later in the day. After some research via Portland Monthly Magazine, I decided to lead our group on the Ridge Trail in the early afternoon that was listed as one of the best... More

Great easy hike, well traveled and well marked. On a clear day, great views of the mountains @ Viewpoint and Pittock Mansion. The 7 miles loop from Zoo to Pittock Mansion, was convenient for parking and restroom use. We'll definitely do it again.

Had a nice hike in Forest Park. If taking the train there, it's hard to figure out what's what. Also, there are so many trails that interconnect so without a map, it can be hard to navigate

A great place to hike and enjoy the great outdoors. Close in and you don't have to travel far. Shows off all the beautiful trees and nature.

This is a great park within the city that is much like the terrain around here when Lewis and Clark visited -- yet easy to get to and easy the walk around. Good views.

If you want to get completely absorbed in a green wonderland, this is the place to go. There are so many trails and hills and creeks to explore it's best to have a map and a plan before you set out. If you are in the mood for some of that famous Oregon mossiness and lushness this is the place... More

Cannot say enough about this inland city park. Having grown up in Portland then moving away, we truly appreciate this beautiful forest even more than before.

Go to Forest Park. It's green, the trails are numerous and good, and trailhead parking is rarely, if ever, a problem. I'd prefer to go to Forest Park than get on a treadmill. Forest Park is one of the US's largest urban forest reserves and, when in Portland, it is what we call the West Hills. You'll see three primary... More
