To Firelane 7 is a short, easy hike in Forest Park, Oregon, on city-managed land. The route is only about 0.11 miles long, and the whole trip takes about half an hour. The hike is a gentle walk from a low point of 606 feet to a high of 692 feet, with a total gain of about 73 feet and a steepest stretch of about 10% grade near the start. It's a simple stop, and you can easily fit it into a longer outing on the park's trails. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station run from highs around 73°F in June to about 81°F in August, with only a few wet days a month. That station sits well below the trail, so expect it to run cooler up top. Northwest Leif Erikson Drive is just 0.1 miles away, and the Ridge Trail and Firelane 7A are both about 0.3 miles off. For paddling, Rock Creek is about 6.5 miles away.
