Hitting Some Trails


We spent the final weekends of summer following several interesting trails. The Wildwood Follow the Crows Trail took us through downtown Portland in search of thirty crows designed by local artists to help promote Laika Studio's new film, Wildwood, which opens in October. CLICK HERE FOR PHOTOS.

Then there was the lovely maze trail through the sunflower fields at Topaz Farms on Sauvie Island, which Emily joined us for. CLICK HERE FOR PHOTOS.

Finally, Pat and I checked out the new HI-LO trail, which connects Hillsdale with Lake Oswego by combining 6.3 miles of SW Portland trails with a beautiful forest hike through Tyron Creek State Natural Area. Photos from our hike are in THIS ALBUM, which also includes some of the kids' summer adventures. 

We also joined Emily and Coleman at the annual PDX Soapbox Derby which follows a trail down through Mt. Tabor Park. One of this year's entries is pictured below and a few more photos are LINKED HERE
