Winter's Hill Estate
Winery
👍👍 I did a lot of research on wineries before our visit to the Willamette Valley, and Winter’s Hill did not disappoint. It’s beautifully sited overlooking the valley, they pair their flights with artisanal chocolate, and it wasn’t overrun with wine tourists. Beautiful, serene setting and delicious wine...

👍👍 Beautiful place to walk and see wild life. Walking there this morning in 28 degrees was like walking inside a snow flake with everything being frozen around. I will definitely come back at spring time. Excellent place for bird watching.

👍👍 Such a beautiful piece of history. There's a parking lot right next to the trail and easy access to the path leading to the trestle. The park offers vault toilet, picnic tables, and lots of grassy areas. There's plenty of shade to cool off on a warm day. It's a short walk to the trestle (approximate...

Chehalem Ridge Nature Park
Nature preserve
👍👍 Newest park in Hillsboro. Took the family to see what is was like. Just off of the parking lot there are bathrooms, bike racks, two picnic pavilions, and a grass area to let the kids play with a soccer ball or run around. Just at the beginning the pads are paved but they soon turn into gravel and p...

Loll Wildwood Natural Area
Nature preserve
😐 Not that great of a space. Honestly just an area where it was too steep to build on. Surrounded by houses without great access and no designated parking. Very wet, muddy, and steep (January) with primitive, overgrown trails. Maybe okay for a quick stroll or dog walk when it's dry if you live in the...
