Stone House Loop hike, Jan 10th

As I have done before, this was another hike in Forest Park. For those who don’t know, Forest park in Portland is the largest urban forested park in the United States with an area of approximately 5400 acres. In it, there are numerous trails and paths for runners, hikers and bikers. The Forest Park Conservancy also known as the friends of the park is an advocacy group that helps maintain and protect this area. They have a commemorative map set of the park that show 9 different loop hikes that showcase different areas of the park starting from the southern section going north. This loop is the first in that series. A big part of the loop, if not all uses the wildwood trail which I’ve done in the past. As always, it was a beautiful hike that makes it hard to believe that you are still in the city.
