Urban hiking is pretty big here. Forest Park is the largest park within city limits in the US, I believe, with something like 30-40 miles of hiking trails, and then there are the esplanade walks and stair hikes and that sort of stuff in downtown. It's not really a west thing... it's a Portland thing. We're special like that.
I went and looked, too, because I had a suspicion about the photos I would find, and I was right. All of those photos are from the south side of the cape, aka the overpopulated loser hotel and restaurant side. We will be on the north side. The way more awesome side that isn't just a sandstone cliff. But as I figured, there aren't any pictures of that side since you can't just drive to it, you have to do some walking. You will see. It is awesome.
