Forest park is a 5,100-acre municipal park sitting square in the middle (well, a bit to the left of the middle) of the city of Portland, Oregon. But to call it a municipal park, is like calling the Eiffel Tower an I-beam. The park is essentially a people-friendly urban forest, complete with all the flora and fauna you might expect to find there. There are seventy miles of walking trails, one of them -- the Wildwood Trail is 29 miles long from one end to the other. The park itself is about 8 miles to a side, so there are places at its heart that make you forget you are anywhere near a municipal area.

This shot was taken at about mile 17 of the Wildwood Trail. The blue diamond on the tree in the background is a quarter-mile marker.

As an aside, anyone who watches the popular television series, "Grimm," has undoubtedly heard the name Forest Park in connection with cases throughout the life of the series.

10/10 Excellent

"The room was gorgeous!The staff was kind. I love the drinks and snacks in the evenings and the Christmas tree was beautiful. They also have a valet for a small price. The pool is a beautiful salt water pool and the hot tub was wonderful as well. I will definitely book a room here again. "
