点评:Quite vast for an urban forest, it covers 5,200 acres (roughly 8 miles long by 1-2 miles wide) and has some 80 miles of trails! It will take several visits to see it all – and that’s great! Following the contours of the Tualatin Mountains, overlooking the Willamette River, it is a welcome oasis in a busy city.
This park has some 40 access points, over 110 bird and 60 mammal species have been seen here. You can catch panoramic views of the city of Portland, the Willamette and Columbia rivers and five major peaks of the Cascade Range.
The park is so large that for four years, a man and his 12 year old daughter squatted there in a tarp-covered structure filled with encyclopedias for homeschooling. (A movie was made about this – Leave no trace in 2018).
The park is losing about 4.5 acres for a new powerline (2025). Don’t take it for granted. Visit it while you can.
翻译:对于一座城市森林来说,这片区域相当广阔,占地5200英亩(约8英里长,1-2英里宽),拥有约80英里的步道!想要看完这里,需要多次游览——这太棒了!沿着图拉丁山脉的轮廓,俯瞰威拉米特河,这里是繁忙都市中一片令人心旷神怡的绿洲。
这座公园有大约40个入口,曾发现超过110种鸟类和60种哺乳动物。您可以欣赏到波特兰市、威拉米特河和哥伦比亚河以及喀斯喀特山脉五座主要山峰的全景。
公园面积如此之大,以至于四年来,一位男子和他12岁的女儿一直蹲在那里,在一个装满百科全书的防水布搭建的房屋里进行家庭教育。(2018年,一部关于此的电影《不留痕迹》被拍摄了下来)。
公园将因新建输电线(2025年)而损失约4.5英亩土地。别想当然,趁还有时间,赶紧去看看吧。
