When tour guests asks us, "what one thing should I not miss in Portland," we pick the 5-mile (8-9 km) hike in Forest Park. No matter what the season, hiking in the park is entering another world right on the borders, and through the fabric, of the city. We offer two daily departures, both with varied terrain and about 900 ft elevation gain. The classic hike is focused around a Northwest Portland experience, and ends at the International Rose Test Garden, the Forest Park Experience (9 a.m. to noon). We have limited 1:30 p.m. departures. We occasionally offer an afternoon hike that starts at Goose Hollow, weaves through the neighborhoods and up into the park, the Goose Hollow to the Forest (2:30 to 6:30 p.m.). Both pass iconic spots; Japanese Garden, Pittock Mansion, and Witch's Castle; but take a different approach to the forest. In Forest Park—within minutes leaving the street—you can forget, or wonder at the fact that you are still in a city.

Rowen was very friendly and outgoing. He was very knowledgeable about Portland history and was happy to answer all questions. It was a great time, and would recommend this tour to everyone that comes to visit Portland especially if Rowen will be leading the tour.

Rowan was such a great guide and I had such a fun time exploring the forests, learning about the local plants and wildlife. He made this such a wonderful experience and I'd highly recommend it to anyone who's looking for a solid hike while they're in Portland. This is especially great for solo travelers too who want to go hiking but prefer to have company!
