Let’s start at the beginning.

From downtown Portland, take Burnside Street west to where Skyline Boulevard branches off. Bear to the right and pass through the Mount Calvary Cemetery. Two blocks up, there’s a little pullout on the left shoulder. Park and walk through the opening in the guardrail, then down a steep 500-foot paved path.

Thank you for reading The Columbian.
