Mt. Tabor Park, Portland, OR
Jul 17 2010

Mt. Tabor is a hilly park with many trails running through terrain which includes both open forest and clearings. For beginners, it is a great way to experience the park in a unique way. For more competitive or advanced participants, the hills are sure to challenge your endurance and speed! Lots of mosquitoes, so be prepared!
