Starting from our meeting point, we’ll follow the scenic Colquitz River as it winds past Panama Flats and into Copley East Park. From there, we’ll journey through quiet residential streets and natural trails, making our way to the pedestrian overpass near Pacific Christian School.
Our route continues to the summit of Christmas Hill, where a steep but beautifully maintained trail—with stone steps—leads to rewarding views. After descending, we’ll stroll through Swan Lake Nature Sanctuary and finish up at Whole Foods for a well-deserved coffee break.
We’ll then cross the Switch Bridge and follow Regina Avenue back to Tillicum. Along the way, we’ll pass through several charming neighborhood parks, making this walk a perfect mix of urban and natural scenery.
