Hoyt Arboretum has more than 1,100 species from around the world and 12 miles of trails from which to view them. Planting at Hoyt Arboretum began in 1931 according to a design by Scottish born horticulturalist John W. Duncan. Trees are arranged in family groups. There is a Vietnam Veterans Memorial on the south slope of the arboretum (visible on the satellite image if you zoom in on the map below).
I found the Hoyt Arboretum to be a wonderful garden and free space to relax in. The plants are unique, the trails delicious and the grass divine. My kids and I enjoyed the war memorial and also the various trees we found throughout our walk. We want to go back in the Spring to see the new blooms and plants. We loved the trails throughout the woods-they were so reminiscent of where we are from. The wildlife was great to see too. This should be on your list of places to visit the next time you are in Portland, OR.
