Our family enjoys visiting this place for a peaceful and beautiful stroll. The fall is definitely a great time to visit with all the trees changing colors. Volunteers are sometimes walking about and can help you navigate the area if you're looking for anything in particular. There are paved paths and some gravel paths. You'll either pay for parking or park on the road. Keep in mind the parking lot tends to fill up quickly during peak times, like weekends and nice weather.
What great way to spend a Sunday afternoon! Tons of trails, all well maintained and impressive how there was basically no litter. Beautiful views and beautiful trees. First time seeing redwoods, loved it! You will need a parks pass, which you can buy online or at a kiosk.
This place was absolutely beautiful. I saw a tree i definitely would love to have on my forever home property - The Japanese Hornbeam. The Vietnam Living Memorial is such a great idea. I love the idea of a memorial that gives back to the Earth. Plus it doesn't just have names of their veterans, but info on what else was happening in their towns during that time. The rose gardens were absolutely amazing. The wide variety of roses was breathtaking. It was nice to see so many still in bloom. I think that was because roses have two bloom seasons and I just happened to visit during the second blooming season, late September. I will definitely visit this place the next time I'm in Portland.

From the moment I saw a photo of the Redwood Observation Deck on Pinterest, I knew this was where I wanted to get married. There was something dreamlike about the tall Redwoods towering over the deck, and the light filtering through the trees. It looked like it belonged in a fairytale. Seeing it in person on our wedding day was even more breathtaking than I imagined. Booking the venue was a unique experience. Portland Parks & Rec operates on a lottery system, so we had to line up outside their office early in the morning to get our permit. It felt a little old-school, but it also made the process kind of special and exciting. Once we secured our date, everything else fell into place. The day-of experience was flawless. While a few of our out-of-town guests had a bit of trouble finding the entrance to Bray Lane (where the trailhead begins), once they arrived, it was only a short, easy walk to the deck. Despite being in a public park, the area felt incredibly private. The few joggers we passed were respectful, and there were no interruptions or background noise — just the quiet, calming presence of the forest. We were lucky to have a beautiful August afternoon. The weather was warm and golden, and the light filtering through the canopy and our chuppah created this soft, ethereal glow. Guests couldn't stop talking about how magical the space felt. It was serene, intimate, and completely unforgettable. If you're dreaming of a natural, woodsy wedding that feels tucked away from the world (while still being in Portland!), I can't recommend the Redwood Observation Deck enough. It’s already a popular choice for a reason, and after our experience, I understand why. Truly a hidden gem in the heart of the city.
This was my first time going to Hoyt Arboretum but it definitely won't be my last. Such a beautiful place to reconnect with nature. I went early in the morning on a weekday and I couldn't have picked a better time. It was so peaceful and had many of the trails to myself. I stuck to the flatter trails, as my shoes were more for strolling than hiking.I can't wait to explore more of the area and bring my sneakers to check out some of the slightly steeper trails. It's a great place for beginners like me! 🌳🚶♀️🌲
