After Work Adventures- Baxter Woods

Thom and I have lived in Portland for almost two years, and we are just have just now discovered the diverse network of trails within the city. With spring finally upon us, we have been exploring the trails in the evenings after work with our hiking buddy, Dakota.

Our first adventure was to Baxter Woods, which is a 30-acre wooded area with a loop trail. It is a nice green space to take a stroll on a spring evening. Baxter Woods is also dog-friendly, which Dakota enjoys. It is nice to be able to let her go off leash and socialize with other dogs.

It is a nice easy walk on level ground through towering pine, oak and ash trees. There is also a pond on the Forest Ave end. We are particularly fond of Baxter Woods because it is not very far from our apartment, so we will be sure to frequent the park throughout the summer.
