Re: 2016 PCT section hike (9/3 - 9/7)

... I did the best that I could. This year, I will probably do less weight training and more raw miles per week in running, especially trails up on Marquam Hill and Forest Park.

A look back on 2015

... Determined to get out a lot during the break I went for a short run on the Marquam Trail on the 29th and made another stab at Green Point on the 30th. All the blowdown on Nick Eaton and the deep snow higher up had me calling ...

Urban Hiking the 4T Trail

... verify, but it felt like it. Also not sure how long the Tilikum Crossing is, but that got added to today's total. So the trail is actually the Marquam Trail and it's your average urban trail ... there's no solitude here but that wasn't the point today. Still ... some parts felt secluded and ...

Re: 10/25/14 Near Death Experience at Threemile Lake Tr OR D

... comments like this from you recently..... and I have to say I'm gaining an appreciation for your wry sense of humor! I walk a lot of miles in Marquam Nature Park here in town during the week for exercise, and the section south of Marquam Hill Road is predominately Red Alder trees. During the ...

Basecamp Trek to the Pittock Mansion: 2/8/14

... satisfy an urge to see the mansion and the park covered in snow. The route we took from the house meant hiking about 2 1/2 - 3 miles to reach the Marquam Trail near Council Crest. From the crest we followed the Marquam Trail over to the start of the Wildwood and followed that up to the Pittock ...

... neat, at least 2 of the 4Ts I call my part of my commute. Another one of the Ts I call my lunch hour. Did you hike down from Council Crest to the Marquam Shelter then up the Conner Trail to get to the Tram or road walk? --Paul We've done it various ways. The classic (for us) is the train to the ...

Re: South Marquam Nature Park trails

I've been doing a nine mile route around the marquam nature park trails 2-3 times a week with one loop down into that southern area using a couple of the new trails. The whole area is really kind of crappy and I wouldn't recommend anybody go there ...

Re: South Marquam Nature Park trails

... in fact. It was nice to see. From Council Crest, it's easy to connect to Washington Park and the Wildwood Trail at the Vietnam Memorial via the Marquam trail (at Patton Rd.). Both SW Trails and Friends of Marquam Park websites provide good maps. Be warned - these trails are not for those who ...
