Pleasant walking during the week in or near Portland.
About 5 miles out-and-back from the Holman Lane trailhead next to 3509 NW Raleigh St up to the Pittock Mansion for some beautiful city views. Lots of uphill climbing (833 feet).
Meet outside Jim & Patty's Coffee, 2021 NW Miller Rd, Portland 97229. We'll walk the trails within the Forest Heights neighborhood. About 4 hilly miles with 700 feet of elevation.
Hilly 5 miles roundtrip down about 450' from the Hillsdale Library to Elephant's Deli on SW Corbett Ave. About 25 minutes for coffee break, then return to start, passing thru the Hillsdale Farmer's Market. Summer start time now 9 AM.
Meet at the Marshall Park Trailhead near 9665 SW 12th Drive (at the west end of SW 12th Drive south of SW Taylors Ferry Road). We'll walk thru Marshall Park and Tryon Park to the Iron Mountain Trailhead at the south end of Tryon, then return to the start. This walk is seven-plus hilly miles. it's more difficult than most of our hikes. We park and meet along the street above the park.
