Hike Description

There are many routes you can take in this park. The one described here is a loop that gives the maximum elevation gain and distance, with varied scenery.

Begin on the west side of the park, on 60th street. Hike up the stairs near Hawthorne and 60th to the lowest of the three reservoirs in the park. Turn right to circle south around the reservoir. These reservoirs are the source of Portland's drinking water. The water is piped down from the Bull Run Watershed on the western flanks of Mt Hood.
