There are so many ways to enjoy the outdoors close to home. Get started with this guide of our favorite places to experience.
Gresham has over a half dozen buttes that are part of the broader Boring Lava Dome complex created from eruptions 100,000 to six million years ago. Most of these buttes are clustered south of downtown and gently drain to the north by the main stem of Johnson Creek. Take a hike through Forest Park East and discover the forested buttes that rise above Gresham.
Spring abounds! Come along with the resident naturalist of Oaks Bottom Wildlife Refuge for a lesson in the plants and animals to look for during spring along the Springwater.

Fremont Bridge Peregrine Banding: May 15, 2012Fremont Bridge Peregrine Banding Video: I shot this as I was leaving the nest. If you look closely you can see that the birds are all now banded. This video gives you a pretty good sense of the nest area---the parents lay their eggs in the gravel area and the young spend stay right in this area for the first couple of weeks after they hatch. Once they get a bit older they will start to wander out on the girders. They take their first flights at at 38-42 days of age. Mom returned to the nest as soon as I got about 15 feet away. Fierce little birds aren't they!!!
