I had a chance to explore the
Leif Erickson Trail in NW Portland this week and escaping from the city to the calm of the forest in a matter of minutes was a surreal experience. Although the city is bustling below, the sounds of the forest are all you hear. It was unlike the redwood groves in northern California because of the proximity to a relatively large metropolitan area. I choose a shorter trail called Dogwood and that lead to another called Wild Cherry and after winding through the hills for a while, I found myself back on the main road leading to Thurman. I highlighted my hike in red on the adjacent map. I think I am going to like it here.
