While extending critical ecosystem services to the region, it covers miles of outstanding hiking trails, all within minutes of the downtown core. Forest Park: Exploring Portland's Natural Sanctuary showcases this treasure in a new light, offering a compendium of the most up-to-date and comprehensive information available. Twenty-one hikes covering seventy-five miles bring a full awareness of the park's outstanding attributes.
