Terrain
Paved sidewalks with some moderate hills.
Difficulty
Mostly easy.
Gear
Sturdy, well-fitting running/walking shoes are a must on Portland’s notoriously uneven, poorly maintained sidewalks and trails. Walkers beware!
Portland weather can change in a matter of minutes, and it’s not unusual to need several varying levels of warmth and rain coverage on a given walk. Dress in layers and pack a collapsible umbrella and drinking water.
Coffee & Lunch
Best bets for coffee and pastries and lunch are Flying Elephants, Elephant’s Deli, and Jola Cafe.
