Chahalem Ridge Nature Park

Ptarmigan Ptrails constructed over 7.5 of new trail in this multi-use system and worked with METRO to adjust and realign 1/3 of the natural surface and AAA trails (All Ages and Abilities). CRNP now provides a unique and beautiful trail experience, with interpretive, aerobic and NICA training and wilderness experiences for residents on the west side of the METRO area. The majority of the trail system was designated for hiking and biking, while a separate area also included design and management standards for equine users. Due to the complexity of the permitting, compliance and construction process, PTRAILS also provided ongoing design services to METRO in order to finalize route alignments and provide problem solving real world trail concerns. During the construction process, our team worked with METRO agency and contractor peers to alleviate concerns in design, trail connectivity and potential trail impact issues that arose when bring the trail design to life. We were honored to be a part of this significant project that helps bring new recreational trails to an underserved area of the Portland metro community.
