I wish I’d known about the Hoyt when we visited Portland. I absolutely love wandering for hours in a place like this. It’s on my list for my next visit – for sure. Thanks for sharing it!

I found it to be a hidden gem too. I found it doing research on the Washington Park area; otherwise, I probably would have not stumbled upon it either.

It certainly looks like a wonderful place to visit – so many beautiful sights – I’m a sucker for structure and loved the steps, but I think my fave shot was of the deep green leaf fanning out. Thanks for sharing 🙂
