Dog Parks

Dog-Friendly Hikes
My favorite thing about Portland is there are so many places to hike, walk, and be outdoors. These city hikes are some of my favorite, and of course, they're dog-friendly. As you get further down the list, the hikes get further away from the city but that's not a bad thing! If you time it right, you can have some trails all to yourself.
