This is a revised and updated edition of this popular Day Hike! title. The preeminent expert on meandering through nature, Seabury Blair Jr., guides your feet through some of the most
picturesque scenes in the Pacific Northwest, on both the Washington and Oregon sides of the Columbia River.
Each hike includes difficulty level, distance, hiking time, elevation gain, best season, permits needed, and notes on trail specifics like whether dogs or allowed or if the route is
wheelchair accessible. Compiled in an accessible, easy-to-read format, Day Hike! Columbia Gorge makes a day in the wilderness an approachable and enjoyable reality. Also included with
each hike description are pictures depicting the scenery, so you can decide if you want to gaze at waterfalls or hike through the lush forests surrounding Mount Hood.
A great resource for Portlanders needing a day of escaping city life, each hike in this edition is no more than two hours from Portland city limits.
Day Hike! Columbia Gorge describes classic day routes--from easy to moderate to extreme--giving hikers the choices they want, whether visiting the area for a day or vacationing with
the kids for a week. Entertaining, accurate, and contemporary writing make this guide the one to keep near the water bottles.
