The Hoyt Arboretum is not to be missed! Perfectly located in Washington Park amongst other attractions like the zoo, Rose garden, forestry museum and Japanese garden, you can spend a whole weekend there and still have more go explore. The trails here are expertly maintained. The porch areas, benches and covered spots along the trail are great for picnics. I especially enjoyed the educational materials along the paths of each areas types of trees. The visitor center/ gift shop was a fun treat, they have extremely well priced trinkets, merchandise and even snacks! We will continue to be patrons here for many years to come. The arboretum is a GEM, a perfect place to soak in nature and the perfect mix of sunshine and shade.
Beautiful place to explore, relax, and enjoy time with friends. The redwood deck and volcano view are two of my favorites. The trails are well maintained and parking is usually not an issue. Stunning in any season but spring and fall especially shine. It can get busy on the weekend and holidays so it's best to visit during the week/off season.

I've photographed an engagement session here, and Hoyt Arboretum is one of my favorite locations in the Portland area. The variety is hard to beat. Towering redwoods and lush forest trails to open gardens, unique tree collections, and peaceful walking paths. Every season brings something different. The redwood grove is especially incredible. Walking beneath those massive trees creates such a peaceful atmosphere, and it's one of the most unique places I've photographed. Whether you're looking for a scenic hike, a quiet escape, or an unforgettable backdrop for photos, Hoyt Arboretum is well worth a visit.
Excellent free tour at Hoyt Arboretum. Our guide had impressive knowledge covering botany, plant evolution, and geology, explained in a clear and engaging way. Highlights included the story of the Wollemi pine, once thought to be extinct and now protected in a hidden valley in Australia, and how trees actually seal their wounds rather than heal them completely. She also shared fun details, such as the Douglas fir cones with their distinctive “mouse tails,” and explained how the rose family (cherries, apples, peaches, strawberries, and roses) all share the same origins despite producing such different fruit. The tour ended with views of Mount St. Helens and Mount Rainier, along with an explanation of the plate tectonics that shaped the region. She was enthusiastic, honest when something was outside her knowledge, and created a relaxed atmosphere where the whole group felt comfortable asking questions and getting involved. Highly recommended for anyone curious about nature and science, and it is completely free.
Can't recommend this place enough! Very friendly staff at the visitor center, and some of the most beautiful nature walks you can experience! At times we felt like we were being transported to another world. It was amazing and beautiful and such a great way to recharge before the work week.
