Pittock Mansion is the old home of Henry Pittock, an Englishman who was best known for being a successful newspaper publisher and investor in the early 1900’s.  He dreamed of having a home that would offer him endless panoramic views of his beloved city. His wishes were answered when he found this lovely plot of land on top of Forest Park.  In 1965, after his death, the mansion was restored and made available to the public. Now, all of Portland is granted access to these sweeping views of Portland, Mount Hood, the Cascade Mountains, and the Willamette River free of charge, and house tours are available for $8-$12.

Emily Coleman
Emily Coleman is a Jersey girl born and raised who caught the outdoor bug upon moving to Vermont to pursue a degree in Adventure Education and Environmental Studies from Green Mountain College. She spent most of her years before college deeply entrenched in the world of competitive cheerleading before discovering a passion for outdoor sports including mountain biking, white water kayaking, bikepacking, backpacking, slacklining, rock climbing, and skiing. Having been surrounded by children her entire life in her mother's daycare, she always had a strong affinity for kids. She moved to the mountains of Jackson Hole after graduating to coach for the local Kayak Club during the summers and nanny in the winters. Becoming a part of the Happy Active Family team felt like the perfect collision of her passion for building strong community bonds and encouraging an outdoor lifestyle.
