Alder > Dogwood > Wild Cherry Loop (Trail run in Forest Park)

Distance: 5 mile trail run
Gain: 700 feet
Start: Leif Erikson @ Thurman gate
After: Brewers Bread - NW Vaughn

Let's do a route that we haven't done in a while starting at the Leif Erikson Trailhead on NW Thurman for a shorter trail running loop with less vert than we typically do. There are lots of options to add on if you want to get in some extra miles. We'll regroup at least once during the run.

The route:
- Head UP Leif Erikson Trail ~1.3 miles
- Left UP Alder (regroup)
- Left on the Wildwood
- Right UP Dogwood
- Sharp left DOWN Wild Cherry all the way back to Leif (cross Wildwood)
- Right DOWN Leif back to the start

Portland, OR 97210

See you on the trails!
