Powell Butte, Portland, Oregon 

Powell Butte Nature Park is on an extinct cinder cone.
There is a Fun! 5 mile loop of steep short climbs, with matching descents and some complementry "trail track" in the woods on the south side.

From the top you can see Mt. Hood, St. Helens, Jefferson, Adams...
If you start from the parking lot on SE 162 ave.,you'll be starting from the top.
If you start from the Springwater trail, you'll be starting at the bottom.
The map here starts at the bottom and circumnavigates the summit

As crowded as is gets on the Butte, it's always a little lost world of wildlife and serenity with great views in the City of Portland.

Overall The trail isn't very technical. (This isn't a Freeride park or an XC Epic trail system) But, Some trails on Powell Butte are smoothe, narrow and fast. You can take it easy or really whoop it up here!, whichever you have the desire to do.
Like most things in life, the trail on Powell Butte is what you make of it.
The views of Mt. Hood, St. Helens, Jefferson, Adams evoke the "Epic" feeling if only for a few seconds.

Watch out for horses, runners, dawgs, rabbits, lovers, birders, photographers and other bikers & me.
