Mount Tabor, Extinct volcanic vent and city park in Southeast Portland, United States
Mount Tabor rises 636 feet above Portland, featuring grassy areas surrounded by Douglas firs and offering views of Mount Hood and downtown Portland.
Road construction workers discovered the volcanic nature of Mount Tabor in 1913, identifying it as part of the Boring Lava Field from the Plio-Pleistocene era.
The park grounds contain four open reservoirs built between 1894 and 1911, now designated as historical landmarks that represent Portland's early water infrastructure.
Three marked trails of different lengths circle the volcano, with the Red Trail at 1 mile, Green Trail at 1.7 miles, and Blue Trail at 3 miles.
Mount Tabor earned recognition as the first Urban Quiet Park in the United States in 2023, establishing new standards for urban green spaces.
