English: Wildwood Trail in Forest Park on a rainy spring day. Though not obvious, the trail is gradually sloping downward further away, even though there was some attempt to keep the grade of the Wildwood Trail close to level, it simply isn't practical in the hilly terrain. Curves are typical at every creek's valley to approximate a near level elevation profile.

This section is believed to be primarily old growth forest containing a mix of indigenous Douglas-fir, western hemlock and western red cedar, with some introduced species such as Oak, Alder, Holly, and others.

Ferns are plentiful throughout Forest Park. Here Sword fern dominate nearby with Maidenhair and Bracken varieties near the trees at center.
