The trails are free and open to anyone who arrives with gear. Maps are available on the Web site. Be sure to monitor the weather, as snow conditions depend on Mother Nature.
If the snow gods are not cooperating, these trails are nice walking trails year-round, and Portland has many unique shops to explore.
