5.5 miles of hiking • 1000' elevation gain •
Started at the Japanese Garden and hiked up through the Hoyt Arboretum down to Burnside using the Wildwood trail that runs through Forest Park. Crossing Burnside after work at rush hour was a thrill all in itself! Hiked up to Pittock and down the back to Cornell and made a small balloon out of this by coming back up Upper MaCleay trail that meets Wildwood and back to the Japanese Gardens where I parked. About 5.5 miles round trip and 1000', I know I made at least 4 trips of 250' UP on this urban hike...
