Nestled in Portland's forest park, this hidden gem of a hiking trail offers a serene and peaceful outdoor experience. Despite the lack of water features, the abundance of shading makes for a comfortable trek, although hikers should be cautious of the presence of poisonous plants. The trail is perfect for families, as evidenced by the recent Easter egg hunt hosted by the Forest Conservancy. With friendly volunteers and a beautiful, easy incline, this trail is a must-visit for those looking for a tranquil outdoor adventure. Just be sure to plan for restroom breaks, as there are no public facilities available.
