Overview
The Bird Alliance of Oregon (formerly the Portland Audubon Society) maintains a bird sanctuary along Balch Creek and the slopes above it. Two loops, one in the Pittock Sanctuary abutting Macleay Park, and the other in the Collins and Uhtoff Sanctuaries across Cornell Road, cover the ground for this hike. The routes described take the outer trails for each of the loops. Note also that old trail maps show paths, such as the Wren Trail, that have since been decommissioned. In addition, there is an optional spur, which leads up from the Collins Sanctuary, to one of Oregon's most obscure state parks, at the Willamette Stone . Obscure though it may be, the parking area for the Willamette Stone is actually the highest point within the City of Portland at 1,180 feet.
