The beloved Wildwood trail is the blood line of Forest Park and the source of inspiration for this company. It is the longest trail in the park, spanning an astounding 30.2 miles from the south (Vietnam Veterans Memorial, Oregon Zoo and Rose Garden), up to Newberry Rd. Every quarter mile is designated by a stenciled blue diamond on the bark of a tree, and is meant to signify "progress". Douglas-fir trees are the predominate vegetation in Forest Park, as well as western red cedar and hemlock.
About the Trail: Wildwood can be accessed from many areas throughout Forest Park along the 30 mile stretch. The most popular starting points are the Vietnam Memorial (to Pittock Mansion), Lower Macleay (to Firelane 1), and Germantown Road (to Newberry Road).
