Avenue of Trees

Hiking: Avenue of the Trees

Map & GPS data: Avenue of the Trees, Forest Park

I find myself in Portland a handful of times a year to visit family and friends. One of the places that I've always wanted to visit was Forest Park. It's name is appropriate given that it is over twenty miles long and completely forested. There are a number of trail heads and offshoots from the primary trail named the Wildwood Trail.

Within Portland's over 4 thousand acre Forest Park lies a trail loop named "Avenue of the Trees", a nice afternoon hike without the commitment.

Every time I come to P-town I look to see Forest Park cascading across the ridge of the west hills. This time it was mandatory. Fall was in full color and it had been warm for days on end with no signs of shifting. We drove up Burnside. I mean all the way up Burnside, until it stopped being Burnside. Deb left us the map guides to Forest Park, and you must be armed with these maps if you are to navigate the extensive trail system or even find your trail head. Even with the maps, we passed ours and had to turn back to relocated it.
