Forest park is a 5,100-acre municipal park sitting square in the middle (well, a bit to the left of the middle) of the city of Portland, Oregon. But to call it a municipal park, is like calling the Eiffel Tower an I-beam. The park is essentially a people-friendly urban forest, complete with all the flora and fauna you might expect to find there. There are seventy miles of walking trails, one of them -- the Wildwood Trail is 29 miles long from one end to the other. The park itself is about 8 miles to a side, so there are places at its heart that make you forget you are anywhere near a municipal area.

This shot was taken at about mile 17 of the Wildwood Trail. The blue diamond on the tree in the background is a quarter-mile marker.

As an aside, anyone who watches the popular television series, "Grimm," has undoubtedly heard the name Forest Park in connection with cases throughout the life of the series.
