“This was a fantastic ride through the forest! A total of about 11 miles on the gravel, the rest is city streets and two bridge crossings. We rented e-bikes and I highly recommend them for the novice cyclists. Our guide, Charlotte, (on a conventional bike) was super! She was patient and fun! This was a unique opportunity to cycle through the nation’s largest city park that happens to be a stunning forest.”
Small-group hike to Cannon Beach, Haystack Rock, Ecola, and Indian Beach from Portland, with expert guidance, snacks, and scenic stops.
“The tour guide Carrie was great. She was very knowledgeable and friendly. The tour group was very small, so we each could ask questions along the way and get them answered. The timing at each location was great and Carrie determined it would be best to visit haystack rock after lunch due to the tide timing. We were all glad she made that call because we got to experience the tide pools near the base of haystack and gained additional knowledge. This was definitely worth the money and time.”
