Green Trail is an easy 1.9-mile loop in Mount Tabor Park in Portland, Oregon, on city-managed land. The route climbs about 195 feet from a starting elevation of 360 feet to a high point of 509 feet, with the steepest section around 1.1 miles in, where the grade reaches 15%. The trail is a short, low-elevation outing that works well as a standalone walk or a link to the park's other trails. The most comfortable months for a visit are late spring through early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show June highs around 73°F and September highs around 75°F, with July and August averaging about 80°F and only three or four wet days a month. That station sits about 350 feet lower than the trail, so expect slightly cooler temperatures on the higher parts of the loop. The trail sits in a cluster of short routes. Blue Trail is about 0.1 mile away and Red Trail about 0.3 mile, with Creston Loop roughly 1.3 miles off. For something different, Highball wall, a climbing area, is about 2.9 miles away.
