About three years ago I took over the leadership of The Portland Hiking Meetup Group as Joe, the founders and organizer, was relocating. Back then it was decided to keep him as a hike leader in the group even though he was not going to be leading hikes. Since he came to visit Portland for the holidays, it was just logic to lead one of the city’s classic hikes with him. So we meet at the Zoo’s parking lot early in the morning to hike via the Wildwood trail all the way to Pittock Mansion. The hike was as expected, a beautiful walk thru Forest Park on muddy trails. Just out of good luck, we had fantastic weather and clear skies so once we got to the mansion, we stayed there for a while enjoying the scenery before heading back down. There’s not much to say about the hike but certainly it was great to get some old friend together with some new group members for this classic hike. It was all fun.
