Parks & Nature
Among my favorite places in the city. Beautiful views of downtown, Southeast Portland, and the West Hills. It's a huge park built on top of an extinct volcano. Biking and running trails, picnicking, huge northwest evergreens, it's a quiet place to experience the beauty of the Northwest. www.travelportland.com/directory/mt-tabor-park/
