Best Walking Trails & Routes in Gresham

Powell Butte is a hill on the south-eastern side of Portland. The open spaces on top of this hill used to be part of a dairy operation. Mountain views are to be seen all over. Most prominent are Mt Hood to the east, and Mt St Helens to the north. The hill side on the south and west sides is a typical western oregon forest with cedar and douglas fir trees.

The beginning is even pavement, crosswalks, people waiting at bus stops. It’s straight run through business/urban sprawl. Fairly level with some uneven concrete to watch for. You will pass some parks where facilities and water is available.

Lovely wood chip path around a nice golf course

fairly level, great for walking, running, and biking! this part is surrounded by homes and greenery.
