Mt. Tabor Park

Fodor's Review:

Dirt trails and asphalt roads wind through forested hillsides and past good picnic areas to the top of Mt. Tabor, an extinct volcano with a panoramic view of Portland's West Hills and Cascade mountains. This butte and the conical hills east of the park are evidence of the gigantic eruptions that formed the Cascade Range millions of years ago. One of the best places in the city to watch the sunset, the park is also a popular place to bike, hike, picnic, or just throw a Frisbee.
