Hyland Forest Park

I've wanted to do this hike for a while, so I'm very happy with how it turned out. Hyland Forest Park is located west of Murray and Sexton Mountain Drive in Beaverton. It's right behind the Spyglass Hill Apartments. The loop was a little over a mile long according to Runkeeper, but I also didn't look at a map before taking off and walked up a few of the exit paths. There are also a few paths that are not on the map that look like a regular path but they just lead to someone's backyard. They have "Nature Play" paths here in the middle of the loop, which make this a wonderful place to return to or go longer than the mile. They are all BEAUTIFUL and different. Each one leads right back out to the main path so unless you're directionally challenged like I am, it's hard to get lost here. If you ARE directionally challenged like I am, I finally figured it out so you definitely could. 

Runkeeper GPS map happy: Yes

Easy terrain- very few light hills, no hard hills

Path: Dirt

Main loop is wide enough for 2 people, Nature Play paths vary

Dog friendly

Quiet- No road noise

Note:There are many entrance/exits to this hike. Please make note of where you came in because you can easily pass your exit. Some have a wood board with the name of the exit. 
Total distance for the day: 3.6 miles in 1:20 (508 cal)

Some kids had fun posting about 15 different signs all different from this one about enderman. He's on vacation this year, you're safe.

I thought it looked like an oversized anteater
