Boring周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ16

Boring, Oregon has become somewhat famous, or infamous, depending on how you look at it. In recent years it has become well known due to its humorous take on its name and partnering with Dull, Scotland as "sister cities" in order to promote tourism to both locations.

Thom Creek Natural Area is a historical cemetery just off the Springwater Corridor trail. The woods around the cemetery are peaceful. It's a popular spot to stop off for bikers, and walkers from the trail often stop and read up on the old grave markers dating back to when it was established in 1859.

This 21.6-acre park, located right by historic downtown Gresham, offers picnic tables and lawn areas for relaxation and breaks. The main features of this park include the Gresham Skatepark, Gresham Japanese Garden, and Gresham Heroes Memorial.

Boring is a small town located southeast of Downtown Portland. From here you can access two nice cycling paths: the Cazadero Trail and the Springwater Corridor.

There is a viewpoint at the summit of Powell Butte. A mountain finder will tell you the names of the mountains you can see from here.

The Springwater Corridor is the perfect place to ride your bike. You're away from the road on a quiet path along buttes, wetlands, fields and pastures.

Powell Butte Nature Park is an extinct volcano. It is a meadow area surrounded by a dense forest. The hills can be mastered very well in the shady forest and you can then hike on the wide meadows. The park is open from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. There is a visitor center with restrooms and parking at SE 162/Powel. Otherwise, the park can also be entered or left via various access gates. The highlight marks a vantage point from which you have a wonderful view into the distance on a clear day. At the vantage point, the most prominent mountains are shown with their distance and height. The hiking trails are very well signposted and maintained. You just have to be careful, as some trails are also open to riders and mountain bikers. Have fun.
