    Woods Memorial Natural Area - Stairway trail

    Love that this little slice of greenery got its own designation. I got to sample a nice (but fairly…read moresmall) network of intertwined trails in this fairly small park (or, ah, natural area), none of them flat, which I totally appreciated for their winding character and shifting terrain. Most are moderate to easy single tracks through wooded areas, but there are some tricky spots, which can get sloppy after rains, but kudos to the volunteers who hacked these paths through a narrow and sometimes steep canyon. You'll get little sun, and lotsa shade, (and sorta sketchy parking), but the trails are decently maintained. Just be aware - they're not flat or paved.

    This park is integrated right into the neighborhood. There is no parking lot, but rather a couple…read moreof dead-end streets that turn into trails. The trails weave their way through the park, down to the creek, and back up to another entry dead end street. It's fairly charming with lots of native plants, wood bridges, and staircases. Looks like someone regularly makes flower art on a particular storm drain - cute. Signposts at trail intersections provide info, but there's no trail map which would be useful. Probably about 2 miles of trails total, some are steep uphill but otherwise it's fairly easy. Dogs allowed on leash. (I saw a number of owners who were not following this rule but didn't have any issues.)

    What a hidden gem this is! Just a few steps into the trails starting from the middle of a…read moreresidential neighborhood, and you feel like you're in the woods. Access can be from the Waterhouse place apartments, or Hunter run apartments or even from Walker road I guess. You can park in one of these residential neighborhoods. We park somewhere around blueridge drive, then follow the powerlines to the Waterhouse lake. That takes you to a cute little play area. There are picnic tables and benches around there. Very quiet, yet you don't feel unsafe.

    I worked in Beaverton and coming from Hillsboro found that the power line trail was by far the best…read moreroute to take. It was quite, traffic free, and usually only occupied by a few runners and dog walkers. The park follows the large and rather unappealing power lines through the west side of Beaverton. I actually this this park is a great use of what otherwise is useless space. It is well kept and it can be fun to spot flocks of birds that like to be perched up on the wires. In fall there were a ton of mushrooms to look for and I think I saw at least 4 different types. The pond is awesome and I had a morning ritual of greeting the ducks that were constantly blocking the path, ending up with me getting squawked at frequently. It can get a bit up and down when you cross the through streets, which can be annoying, but it's nice to be elevated too. This park would be great for picnicking in the summer and is large enough that you should be able to find a spot all to yourself without sitting on top of other people.

    In preparation for our first trip to the Willamette Valley, I did a lot of research and reached out…read moreto A LOT of tour companies. Once I connected with Proprietor Paul Tsiorba at Willamette Valley Tours, I felt that I had found a real partner in planning. He was responsive, insightful, and so easy to work with. Before even leaving home, we felt we were in good hands. And when our vacation was over, we knew we had made the right choice. Our trip to WV, OR was unforgettably fun and completely relaxing all at the same time. Paul bills himself as "Director of Awesome Experiences" and you might think that is hyperbole...until you book and tour with him! Thank you Paul, and Lova, for taking us all of the places we were sure to enjoy, for knowing the answers to every question, for respecting our time and our money, and for your genuine hospitality. You two are real ones!

We had a great experience with him on our tour. He was on time, friendly, knowledgeable, flexible and accommodating. Paul had a great line up of which wineries to take us to, and also had a great recommendation of where to pick up lunch and even pre-ordered for us. It was definitely a great experience and made our trip better. Thank you Paul!
