-Review: Mt Tabor on the East side of Portland offers a wonderful mix of paved road/walkway and trails. The majority of the park is forested and offers a nice shady spot to hike even in the summer time. It is a popular park and parking may be hard to find but there are multiple trailheads.
The trails connect offering many, many miles but this was the “Main Loop” trail according to AllTrails. The park offers an off leash dog area, multi use trails, playgrounds and plenty of benches to sit and enjoy the sweeping views of Portland and its surrounding areas. I recommend a GPS app with a map just to ensure you can find your way back in case you want to go off of the planned route. Cheers!
