• Forest Park - We’ll make our way into Forest Park from the starting point, where we’ll join the famous Wildwood Trail, a 43-mile long trail that has its origin over 110 years ago.

When vacationers inquire about the one must-see attraction in Portland, our recommendation is the 5-mile (8-9 km) trail in Forest Park. Regardless of the season, this nature hike feels like stepping into an alternate universe located at the edge of and interwoven with the city fabric.

We host two daily departures, covering varied landscapes with an elevation increase of roughly 900 ft. Our morning hike is distinctly designed to offer a Northwest Portland experience, culminating at the International Rose Test Garden - this venture, labelled the Forest Park Experience, runs from 9 a.m to midday. An afternoon slot is available but on a limited basis at 1:30 p.m. On rare occasions, we organize a later hike that kicks off from Goose Hollow, winds through local neighborhoods and ascends into the park - this excursion, named Goose Hollow to the Forest, is from 2:30 to 6:30 p.m. Both trips cover famous landmarks like the Japanese Garden, Pittock Mansion, and Witch’s Castle, but each provides a unique perspective on the forest.

Once in Forest Park, within no time of leaving the city streets behind, you may find it hard to believe you’re still within city limits.

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.
