This book features an excellent range of hikes: from challenging longer hikes to short hikes suitable for families with kids, well known hikes and little known gems. The author has done a great job selecting hikes that explore the mountains and high desert of Easter Oregon, and his written descriptions are precise and descriptive. Sullivan's maps and photos add a lot to the book. A great book for hikers in Central or Eastern Oregon -- or those of you visiting.

I live and hike mostly in Central Oregon and absolutely love Wm. Sullivan's Central Oregon hiking guide. I couldn't do without it. He's not only knowledgable about the hikes, but the history and plant flora as well. No one can beat his maps for accuracey which he draws free hand. Therefore I have decided to purchase his Eastern Oregon guide as well which appears to be equally as wonderful. I don't plan to travel to Eastern Oregon without taking this guide along with me.

William Sullivan is Oregon's hiker laureate. In my mind, there is a simple rule: if Bill is the author of a hiking-related guide book, it is worth purchasing. That is definitely the case with his Eastern Oregon book. Like his other books, I have learned about (and visited) many new places thanks to this book, and eventually hope to do all of the hikes listed herein. Plus, I really enjoy his idiosyncratic (but easy-to-follow) maps. Highly recommended!

If you are interested in day hikes or shorter backpacking trips, Sullivan is the best resource for all hiking in Oregon. The only minor downside to this book is that you won't find many suggestions for longer rips--this book and his others focus mostly on 1-2 day trips.

I have taken several of the hikes described in this book. The descriptions are detailed, yet concise. I used this book to plan my trip, and am very happy with how it turned out.
