According to The Oregon Encyclopedia, "Portlanders have long valued Macleay Park, in Portland’s northwest hills, as a wild oasis close to the city’s core. The nearly 140-acre park has deep ravines shaded by large Douglas-fir and western red cedar trees. Macleay Park also contains the lower portion of Balch Creek, ..." We hadn't walked in the park for quite a while, so it was good to get reacquainted. The various shades of green were intense, and on one tree were contrasted by orange-red. It's remarkable to have such a special place within half an hour's walk from where we live, which is just a few blocks from downtown Portland.
