    Hiking

    Unique spot to view several large Douglas-firs. Some of these trees are five to six feet in diameter and are surrounded by western hemlock, grand fir and western cedar. This pocket of forest is not logged, giving a true sense of nature, making it easy to get lost in its natural beauty.

    Embark on the Wildwood & Maple Trail loop, a moderate hiking route that takes you deep into Forest Park's lush canopy. You'll traverse 9.0 miles (14.5 km) and gain 1604 feet (489 metres) in elevation, a journey that typically takes around 4 hours and 21 minutes. As you hike, you'll find yourself surrounded by towering Douglas firs and western red cedars, with mossy maples creating a grotto-like atmosphere in the canyons. Keep an eye out for the impressive Munger Creek Old-Growth Douglas-Firs, a true highlight of the route.

    When planning your visit, be aware that conditions can be wet and muddy, especially outside of summer, so waterproof footwear is a good idea. If you drive to the Lower Salzman Trailhead, remember to leave nothing valuable in your vehicle, as car break-ins have been reported there. Leashed and well-behaved dogs are welcome to join you on this adventure, making it a great option for pet owners.

    This loop offers a fantastic workout within Portland's expansive urban forest, providing a true escape into nature without leaving the city. The forest is particularly vibrant with color in autumn, but its rich, mossy greens offer beauty throughout the year. It's a prime example of the unique natural environment that makes Forest Park such a treasured resource for the region.
