One of Portland’s “nature jewels” is the extinct volcanic butte Mt. Tabor. A 200 acre green space, it is a birding hotspot, especially in earl spring and early summer when many spring migrants are abundant. The park bird list is nearly 200 species, not bad considering it’s only about 5 miles from downtown Portland!
The summit of Mt. Tabor is 643 ft. and has some of the best vistas of Portland to the west and Mt. Hood to the east. The park has an off leash pet area, several miles of paved trails, and a picnic area. Located between Division and Belmont and 60th and 71st in SE Portland. Enjoy!
