Mere minutes from the hustle of downtown Portland, a wooded wonderland awaits you. Forest Park boasts over 5,200 acres of lush greenery and 70 miles of pristine trails, making it one of the largest urban parks in the U.S. – and, in my humble opinion, our best! In this guided tour with a local expert, you'll hike beneath a grand canopy of majestic Douglas Fir, stunning Bigleaf Maple, whispering Western Hemlock, mighty Oregon White Oak and more. Hikers will enjoy jaw-dropping views of the Cascade mountain range, featuring Mount Hood – Oregon's highest peak at 12,500 feet. Other attractions on our tour include Portland's storied Witch’s Castle and the historic Pittock Mansion. We’ll stop outside the mansion for a small picnic of local goodies, restroom breaks, and Insta-worthy photo ops before trekking back down to the starting point.
From the Lower Macleay Trailhead, we’ll enter the verdant wonderland of Forest Park. The park features over 70 miles of well-maintained trails for hikers, mountain bikers, and horseback riders. You won’t believe you’re still in the city limits!

Much of our Forest Park hike will be along Portland’s famous 30-mile Wildwood Trail (don’t worry, we’re only walking a few of ’em). The Wildwood Trail is the longest soft-surface hiking trail within a city in the U.S. – and it’s all ours to enjoy!

Nestled atop Portland’s scenic West Hills, the Pittock Mansion is a beacon of historical grandeur and architectural elegance. We’ll stop at the mansion’s meticulous grounds for a picnic of local goodies, restroom breaks, and Insta-worthy photo ops. The view of Mount Hood (Oregon’s highest peak at 12,500 feet) behind the cityscape is breathtaking!
