I spent the night at Mom's last night, and Mom and I woke up around 7 and planned to head out and hike to Warrior Rock Lighthouse on Sauvie Island. We drove all the way out to Sauvie Island, and were about to walk in to buy our permit to go out there, when we saw a sign that said the trail we were going to hike was closed! We were a little bummed out, but we regrouped and decided to find somewhere else to hike.
We ended up going to Tryon Creek State Park, which is a beautiful park in the middle of the city of Portland. Well, according to their brochure/map, they are in between Portland and Lake Oswego. I had absolutely no idea it existed! It's right next to Lewis and Clark College, and there are various trails you can take for hiking, biking, or horseback riding. Some trails are more difficult than others, as we found. We tried the Lewis and Clark trail, which was fairly hilly and had a bridge that was pretty rickety that you had to cross. We turned around at that bridge and tried a different trail, which happened to be very flat.
All around, it was a fun trip! I'd love to go back sometime and try another trail or set of trails! :) Unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures. :( Next time!
