1. The descriptions of the trails included in the book are fantastic. It even comes complete with suggested rides, special comments, and other relevant information about the trails. It does, however, have very few trails near Portland. There are multiple trails in the Portland/Salem area that are not covered.

1. For anyone interested in tracking down waterfalls in the Pacific Northwest region, this book is the bible. Detailed accounts of where to locate them, maps, personal insight, the works. Gregory Plumb has laid the groundwork for my innate passion for these natural beauties. A Waterfall Lover's Guide to the Pacific Northwest is a must have for hikers and enthusiasts alike.



2. I am Bob S. Stearns with the Oregon Dept. of Forestry - Santiam Unit. I am personally dealing with recreational issues on state lands regarding a couple of waterfalls in this publication. Some information has changed with these locations and the publication should be altered to show that. Thank you for any correspondence. Please call at (503)859-2151 or write at adresses listed above. Thank you.

1. This book has beautiful pictures of the Portland, OR area. Steve is an excellent photographer and has a great eye for picture content. Anyone interested in the Portland area will enjoy this book immensely. I bought three of them, one for myself, one for my son who has moved to Seattle, WA and one for my daughter who has moved to Eagle River, AK. This will give them a little piece of home to look at any time they want.

1 comments about Hiking Oregon (rev).

1. The hikes described in this book cover a lot of territory. From the deserts of southeastern Oregon to the near-rainforest areas of the Oregon coast. This is appreciated, as most books tend to overlook anything east of the Cascade mountain range.

   A good book for beginning or intermediate hikers, the guide includes basic hiking tips and reminders to care for the areas that the guide will take you. It also sticks to describing trails that fall into the same skill level (nothing too hairy here). The trails described in the book are all pretty well-established, and are marked and monitored by the forest service (or other agency in charge of the trail). Also, the hikes are all short hikes (most are 1/2 day, but ranges from 20 min to the occasional overnighter).

   If you are fairly new to hiking or just passing through and looking to spend some time in the beautiful Oregon wilderness, this is a pretty good book. It won't get you to the "secret" parts of Oregon, but it will take you to some beautiful places. The drawbacks: The maps lack detail (although for the hikes described, its not really necessary) and it needs an index of landmarks, so if you are looking to go someplace in particular, you have to read through the descriptions of the hikes.
