Hiking in Forest Park – a light warm up hike!

Taking a stroll through Forest Park

Saturday, 24-June-2017

 

At this point, we’d already hiked Dog Mountain… a pretty heavy hike, by most metrics.  It had hurt though, and I’d been out of commission for a few days afterward.

This time, we were going to take it a bit easier, and ease me back into hiking with a simpler trail.  The Leif Erikson trail, to be exact.

 

So… we hiked it.  Not the whole thing, mind you.  Just 8 miles, give or take.  Still a good walk, but since it’s nearly flat, it was more of a relaxing stroll than a full-on hike.

That’s kind of it.  It was beautiful, and gave us some really good views of Portland.
