Highly recommend! - This hiking tour was perfect! Daniel makes an effort to educate his crew on the history of the park and the mansion, he is very knowledgeable and fun. He also brings the best snacks for the break at the top! Would highly recommend this tour if you're interested in a bit of Portland history, beautiful nature, and great company. Daniel also has vast knowledge of the best spots in Portland, so be sure to pick his brain if you need ideas for your trip!

Wonderful Experience! - The Forest Park hiking tour was a wonderful experience for our family! Our guide, Daniel, was fun, friendly, and very knowledgeable about Portland and the Pacific Northwest. The pacing of the hike was perfect, with brief stops for pictures, gear demos, and learning about the park’s attractions. The Pittock Mansion grounds were gorgeous, and the picnic there was great! We definitely lucked out on such a beautiful winter day. Portland is a magical spot, and this tour totally set the tone for our trip. I'd recommend this tour to anyone visiting Portland!

Unexpected fun! - New to the PNW and stumbled upon this tour on here and stoked I did. Very fun tour and fungi hahaha. Thanks for showing me some cool foraging spots!

Cool hike and tour! - We had a great time on this tour! Forest Park was lush and gorgeous. Daniel was fun and charismatic, keeping everyone engaged and sharing his deep knowledge about Portland and adventuring in the Northwest. The tour was well-organized and included water and delicious snacks. Daniel also recommended a ton of great restaurants, bars, and hikes for our trip. 10/10

Perfect hike with a great guide! - As a first-timer in Portland, I couldn't ask for a better introduction to its natural beauty. It’s amazing this “forest” is 10 minutes from downtown. The biodiversity is incredible, and the view from Pittock Mansion was indeed spectacular! We could’ve hiked on our own, but having a local guide made this a truly memorable experience. Daniel was easy to talk to and knew so much about hiking, Forest Park, and Portland. He shared some fascinating history about the park and attractions and even showed us how to use hiking gear like trekking poles and water filters, which was a cool bonus. The hike was relatively easy, except for some moderately challenging switchbacks right before the top. We started to get sweaty when we arrived at the mansion for a welcome respite - exactly the level of challenge we wanted! The local snacks were delicious and a nice touch. Daniel also gave us great excursion and restaurant recommendations, especially the Oneonta waterfall hike and Tulip Shop Tavern. We’re definitely doing his food tour on our next visit. If you love nature and hiking and want to learn about this special spot, I highly recommend this tour! It's well worth it.
