Prepare your body

The goal is to reduce recovery time, so you can keep exploring. Focus on flexibility, mobility, and strength.

What to pack

It's wise to bring clothes that you can layer, that are quick-drying and that fit nicely into your day pack.

Popular trails

Day hikes in the park are graded easy, moderate, and difficult. All are diligently maintained and signposted.

A guide for first-timers

Sally Rooney

I'm Sally! I've spent the past two years traveling, which included 18 national parks here in the United States, and an extended trip to Europe. Recently, I've chosen to put down roots in Portland, Oregon, and look forward to exploring even more of the Pacific Northwest through hikes, trails, and by water.
