This Quaint Little Trail Is The Shortest And Sweetest Hike In Portland
If you are looking for a short trail to stretch your legs on a sunny day, this one in SE Portland’s Mt Tabor Park is a great place to explore. Clocking in at just 1 mile, the trail is easy, features some lovely views, is mostly shaded, and perfect for some fun outdoors.
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life. While we continue to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, please take proper precautions or add them to your bucket list to see at a later date.

It is thought that the large network of cinder cones and small shield volcanoes that span from Boring, OR to SW Washington became extinct more than 300,000 years ago.


The park's three remaining above-ground reservoirs no longer serve up our city's drinking water, but were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.




Dogs are allowed on all the trails at Mt Tabor Park, so be sure to bring them along to enjoy the trail with you.

The park is open until midnight daily, but when the gates close they are closed... make sure your car is on the right side of them.

Mt Tabor Park is located at SE 60th and Salmon Street.
