Forest Park Hiking Tour to Pittock Mansion
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.
