100 Hikes in Northwest Oregon

100 Hikes in Northwest Oregon
- Used Book in Good Condition
Where else but in Northwest Oregon could hikers have so many great options within a two-hour drive? This guide covers more than just the well-known trails of the Portland area, Columbia Gorge, and Mt. Hood. You'll discover a path to a free Willamette River ferry, a historic cabin overlooking Mt. Jefferson, and a natural rock arch near Hood River. Forty-one of the trips are open even in winter. And because some of the area's best trails are just north of the Columbia, there's comprehensive coverage of Mt. St. Helens National Volcanic Monument and the Indian Heaven Wilderness, too. The book features a variety of difficulty levels. Hikers with children will find 46 hikes carefully chosen for them. On the other hand, a quarter of the hikes included are unabashedly strenuous. Nearly half of the trails are rated as suitable for backpackers as well as day hikers. At the back of the book you'll find a list of 21 all-accessible trails suitable for strollers and wheelchairs. And if you really want to get away from it all, there's an appendix describing 100 MORE hikes in Northwest Oregon -- little-known but interesting trails for adventurous spirits.
