Ride from Portland to Gresham following the Springwater Corridor the entire way until the ascent of Hogan Butte - a little-known hill in Gresham with spectacular views. If you're not familiar with Portland, the Springwater is a paved path dedicated to bicycles and pedestrians following a former railway along Johnson Creek. The first 13 miles of this 15-mile ride are on the flat Springwater, but the "high country" in the title comes from the last 2 miles, with a 600-foot ascent to the 920-foot top of Hogan Butte. The summit has sweeping grassy fields providing views of Mt. St. Helens, Mt. Adams, Mt. Hood, and Mt. Jefferson. This is an out/back ride, or three miles from the summit is the Gresham MAX Light Rail station going back to Portland.
