Walking West Linn: Parker Crest, Tanner Creek, Rosemont Loop

As part of our Walking West Linn series, this moderately challenging (rolling hills, varied walk surfaces), 3.5 mile LOOP walk traverses two stunning West Linn neighborhoods–Parker Crest & Rosemont.

Your favorite realtors with Annie the Dog walking Old Parker Crest Road Trail.

You’ll meander 3.5 miles alongside Oppenlander Field (Rosemont) and then Tanner Creek (Parker Crest), experiencing stately homes, wetlands, two parks (Tanner Creek Park & Oppenlander Field), FOUR pedestrian bridges, and a “secret” connector path.

You’ll also traverse a variety of walk surfaces, from paved to unpaved trails, city sidewalks, gravel roadways, and grassy fields. The variety of surfaces, landscapes, neighborhoods, and elevations (rolling hills) work together to make an invigorating and highly engaging walk. Perhaps a bit rough and too long for the younger set, but older kids (8+) with adult supervision will love this route. (Dogs too but they must be on leash.) Tons of interest! Not heavily travelled.

You won’t get bored with the ground under you feet on this route.

One of the unspoken rules of the road for a mixed terrain walker is KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE ROUTE AHEAD. Or put another way, KNOW YOUR GROUND. This simple habit can make the difference between staying upright or finding yourself lying on your back on the pavement. Don’t ask how we know.

That’s why we trek every route we share at least thrice and try to alert you to potentially hazardous trail conditions. That said, the ground beneath our feet changes with the seasons. Great shoes (our current faves) and caution are always advised.

Our route maps are designed so you can both follow and keep track of where you are on the route from your iPhone while walking. On your computer, save the route map to your bookmarks bar and then open that link from your iPhone.

While walking, open the Legend field on the map to get turn-by-turn directions. If Google Maps is tracking properly (occasionally, in some areas, it glitches) you’ll see a small blue ball that represents you on the map. Essential for keeping track of where you are on the route.
