About This Tour
Gravel riding has taken the cycling world by storm. Prepare yourself for an urban forest adventure within the city. Ride from our shop in Old Town through the bustling Pearl District & Nob Hill as your guide highlights historical and cultural hotspots. Leave the city behind as you pedal into America’s largest urban forest – Forest Park. Carved into the slopes of the West Hills, cruise the stunning car-free gravel path which traverses the entire park and offers a scenic half-day trip all within city limits. The 11 mile bike and pedestrian path through the 5000 acre park is enshrouded with towering trees. Catch glimpses of the city below as you zip through the temperate forest. Return the way you came or head over the St Johns Bridge into North Portland for amazing views of the West Hills and the Willamette River from Overlook. 28 miles - This tour appeals to fit beginner and experienced gravel riders on our Carbon Gravel Bikes as well as new adventurers on our Gravel E-bikes.
