Forest Park – known as America’s Premier Urban Forest. Some of the very best local hiking. It’s my husband Brent’s go-to place for an afternoon escape.

A 21-mile paved trail. Excellent for hiking and biking (a personal biking favorite). It’s a 15-minute drive from Hillsboro to the Banks trailhead. Beautiful all year long. Users can pick any distance, with a variety of scenery and topical options, by starting at one of the many trailheads. Don’t miss the restored train trestle bridge at Buxton.
