Hoyt Arboretum

This Arboretum is massive and it's beautifully maintained with long trails through diverse groves of magnificent trees. The Redwoods are breathtaking. Free tea in the visitor center. It's very easy to get here taking the shuttle through the park. The suggested times for walking the roots are very conservative. I would say if you walk at a healthy Pace you can finish a root in half the time of what's listed.

200 acres of gorgeous walking trails featuring dozens of species of trees by trail - the redwood trail, the fir trail, and the magnolia trail are personal favorites. Fairly easy hiking, and family friendly! I pushed my toddler in a stroller all over the park without much difficulty. The paths are generally smooth. Excellent spot to exercise! After the first time, I went back the next two days in a row because I had to see all the trails! Also a great spot to birdwatch.

This was my favorite part of our trip to Portland. At the beginning of our hike it was just interesting reading the names of the different trees. As we went further along we began noticing the subtle differences between the different species, and really enjoyed the diversity in the trees, as weird as that sounds. You could really spend a couple days here and not see everything. Parking was pretty crazy, but it wasn't very crowded once we got away from the visitor's center. The Arboretum is a must see if you are visiting Portland. Very relaxing and enjoyable.

Well-kept educational trails make this place feel like an escape to the wilderness while being in the middle of the city. Parking can be a bit tight but weekdays are a quieter time to visit.
