Review # 1 was written on 2012-11-11 00:00:00 Kiayanna Cisco I used this book in planning a recent trip to Oregon. I used to be an avid hiker, but I'm not exactly in shape right now, so this book was an excellent guide to pick out a few short hikes in Crater Lake National Park and another near Bend. Hikes can be located on a numbered map of western and central Oregon, or through the index in back. Each hike is rated by type of hike (day hike or backpack), difficulty, distance, terrain, high point, when it is hikable and contact information. The narrative gives a clear description of the hike, its popularity, what you'll see and how to get there. There is an explanation of the symbols used in the book, and the introduction discusses why you should hike with children, how to use the book, what to take, safety issues, good trail manners and trailhead fees. So, whether you're a parent looking for some fun hikes for the children, or you're an adult looking to stretch your legs in the Oregon outdoors, this is an excellent guide to help you plan your outing.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-12-30 00:00:00 David Wilkins I remember this book from when I was a kid and all its references to rain and dislike of Californians who were moving north en masse back then. Nowadays we've got even more extreme weather and we're trying to build a wall. Guess that whole scene just isn't quite as funny anymore.
