What to expect on Tigard Heritage Trail – Hiteon Wetlands Natural Area loop from Tigard Transit Center
The route kicks off on the Tigard Heritage Trail, a pleasant paved rail-trail that doubles as an 'Outdoor Museum' with public art and historical installations.

However, be prepared for a change of pace as you approach the Hiteon Wetlands Natural Area; while beautiful, some segments here might be unpaved and less ideal for a pure road bike, requiring a bit more effort or even walking your bike. This makes the full loop best suited for adventurous road cyclists comfortable with varied terrain.
