The Tunnel Trail to Wildwood in Portland, Oregon is a well-regarded hiking route. This trail spans approximately 1.82 miles, making it one of the longest urban trails in the United States. The trail is of moderate difficulty, with some steep inclines and uneven terrain. It is well-marked and maintained, making it suitable for both novice and experienced hikers. The trail offers a variety of natural features. It winds through dense forests of Douglas fir, western hemlock, and red cedar. Hikers will also encounter several small streams and a few larger bodies of water, including the Balch Creek and the Willamette River. Unique rock formations and a tunnel carved into the hillside add interest to the hike. Hikers should wear sturdy footwear and bring plenty of water. The trail can be muddy in places, especially after rain. Despite its urban location, the trail offers a sense of solitude and tranquility. It's a great choice for those looking to explore the natural beauty of Portland, Oregon.

Lower Macleay Park to Pittock Mansion
Lower Macleay Park is one of most easily accessible trailheads in the city, especially during one of Portland’s rare snow years where even driving up to 500 feet of elevation can challenge your car. You can park within the park entrance cul-de-sac, around the intersection of Upshur St. & NW 29th St., or even on top of the Thurman Street Bridge and take the stairs down to the trailhead.

Hoyt Arboretum
Founded in 1928 to conserve endangered species and educate visitors, Hoyt Arboretum is a 190-acre park in the forest above Portland's NW area. It's only 15 minutes from downtown!
There are 12+ miles of trails to explore, my favorite is the Redwood Trail that takes you through towering redwoods and to the Redwood Deck -- a perfect place to sit and smell the trees and drink morning coffee.
