Scouters Mountain Nature Park, Happy Valley OR

Trails are well maintained and an easy enough hike to do daily to get into shape.

We were so glad that dogs were not allowed. I am a dog owner and walk my dog daily. It was so nice not having to succumb to dodging dogs and what irresponsible owners neglect to pick up.

What a nice spot to chill. Friendly folks are all about. There’s quite a bit of new construction around the base of this hilltop. Views of Mt. Hood can be seen about to the east. They are better after the leaves fall but today was cloudy so they wouldn’t have been that impressive anyway. Maybe a mile and a half of forested off pavement wanderings are available here. The neighborhoods below have access to this knoll and adjoining houses probably sell for a markup. Now is the time to inquire if you desire any custom features with your next home. I don’t know the exact price points but they probably aren’t getting any cheaper unless we repeat a greater recession in 2029. But anyhey, enjoy this posh hood. The roundabout with artwork is one of my favorite roadway designs in the general area. There are always friendly folks and nice Corvettes with an occasional Porsche barreling around this space.

Beautiful preserved piece of a wooded forest with nice hiking trails that are not too difficult. ADA accessible by car to a beautiful view point for mount Hood that has a very convenient bathroom in it.

Construction all around. There are homes being built at the location where there was supposed to be a nature park

Lock your doors and keep an eye out. Had our car broken into and contents stolen even though it was early (7am). Cops wont do anything just chalk it up to "thats the way it is here. " Its a really nice area though and when we did walk around it was beautiful. Deer were roaming around, it was quiet, and some amazing views.
