Founded in 1928 to conserve endangered tree species and educate the community, Hoyt Arboretum is one of Portland’s great green sanctuaries—190 ridge-top acres just minutes from downtown. More than 12 miles of hiking trails wind through the forested landscape, offering everything from gentle strolls to longer rambles beneath towering conifers and broadleaf canopies.
The Arboretum is home to an extraordinary living collection of trees and shrubs—over 2,300 species from six continents—assembled for conservation, research, and public enjoyment. Whether you visit for spring blossoms, summer shade, autumn color, or the quiet structure of winter branches, Hoyt Arboretum offers beauty, learning, and a sense of calm in every season.
