January 1, thru December 31, 2010
ASPEN TRAIL
A beautiful walk through Portland's spectacular Forest Park. Almost all
of this walk is on the Wildwood and other trails through a portion of Forest
Park. It's hard to imagine that you are so close to, actually in, a major
city as you walk through this magnificent gem that is a part of Portland.
The walk starts and finishes from a street in the hills of NW Portland with
it's beautiful homes and views. This
is not just another city walk as it allows the walker to
experience the feel of the forest within a city.
