Forest Park - Wildwood Trail

Rainy hike today close to home in Forest Park (Portland, Oregon) on the Wildwood Trail. Forest Park is one of the largest forests in the country that is within a city. There are about 70 miles of trails that crisscross the Park so lots of trails to explore! The Wildwood Trail is 30.2 miles long, making it America's longest forested urban trail. We hiked a section of this trail up to Pittock Mansion - a 46-room estate built in 1914 as a private home for the Oregonian publisher, Henry Pittock and his wife Georgiana, with a great view of the City of Portland, the Columbia River and surrounding mountains. Of course today we were lucky just to have a view of the City.  I really enjoyed the casual hike and great company! ;) It was another great day outside!
