Bilingual maps, available now, help you explore Cornelius, Forest Grove and Hillsboro on foot and by bike.

Información en español.

Washington County is home to a rich cultural history, beautiful parks, unique main streets and…great walking and biking routes!

Metro and Kaiser Permanente’s new ¡Vámonos! maps highlight family-friendly routes to explore by foot and by bike in Cornelius, Forest Grove and Hillsboro.

Everyone knows walking and biking are good for health, but sometimes, it’s hard to know where the best routes are.

The ¡Vámonos! maps answer that question as they cover a lot of ground: they show longer bike routes with big views, as well as scenic, short and safe walking routes that connect residents with schools, parks, grocery stores and more.

The maps also call out churches, interesting and old trees, historic points of interest, transit stops and safe crossings of busy streets.

Each town’s map outlines one main route with offshoot connections to other interesting sites. The main route in Forest Grove is 7.7 miles; in Cornelius it’s 5.5 miles and in Hillsboro, it’s 5.4 miles.

The maps are free and easy to use. Each one features information in English and Spanish, and suggestions for using the maps to get around town.

The routes have been tested by Metro’s walking experts for suitability and to ensure the safety of you and your family.
