Volcano Viewing

The views here are amazing. From this vantage point you get unobstructed views of Mount Hood, Mount Saint Helens, Mount Adams and a peekaboo view of Mount Rainier. If you have a day to enjoy this park, consider doing the 4 T Trail (Tram, trolley,...More

Beautiful view, peaceful place

Head up to Council Crest to see the city and the snow-capped peaks in the distance. Make sure to stand in the center of the circle on the gold marker and talk out loud - I won't give away the secret about what happens, but...More

I woke up early on the 4th of July and due to the holiday the gym where I work out was closed. I decided I needed to do an uphill hike to get my exercise in. I also wanted to eat barbecue and because Matt's...More

Best park for your dog!

Cako loved running through the open field and running through the pine trees. She managed to make a new friend each time since she wants other dogs to chase her! Depending on the time of day you go, it seems quite pleasant. Except for the...More

Get a good look at Portland from up here. Visualize the Multnomah Indian tribe in their summer camp on this piece of real estate.

5 stars for the view or the hikes, but this park won't engage you for long

This park is a must on a clear day, you can see 4 volcanoes and of course the city of Portland. But once you see the view, you're pretty much done with this park. If you've got a dog, the park is leashless. Or you...More
