Sasquatch's Day Hike! guides are written for people who want to spend their days in the mountains and their nights back at home. The series uncovers the best trails for the newbie hiker or veteran day-tripper. Day Hike! Columbia Gorge leads readers to 57 of the best hiking trails in the Columbia Gorge. This resource features a variety of great day hikes stretching upriver from the suburbs of Portland, Oregon and Vancouver, Washington, to the mouth of the Deschutes River in Oregon and the Klickitat River in Washington. Each trail includes an overall rating, mileage and estimated hiking time, elevation gain, trail conditions, difficulty level, best season, map references, driving directions, exploring options, permits required, special notes on hiking with children and dogs, and references for finding more information. Sharp, contemporary black-and-white photos, a quick-reference chart of season and difficult level, and hike statistics at a glance are also included. Organized by major highways and roads for easy trail finding, the book describes classic day routes — from the easy to the extreme — giving hikers the choices they want, whether visiting the peninsula for a day or vacationing with the children for a week.

Great book!,
This review is from: Day Hike! Columbia Gorge: The Best Trails You Can Hike in a Day (Paperback)
We love this book. The rating system they use is perfect. They fit the hikes well. We know which hikes we can take the kids on and how long they are going to take. The directions to find the beginning location for each hike are wonderful. We will buy more of these for different areas!

This review is from: Day Hike! Columbia Gorge: The Best Trails You Can Hike in a Day (Paperback)
It may be unfair to the authors of this book, I mean that their book really is pretty good, BUT, there is a far superior book. "100 Hikes in Northwest Oregon & Southwest Washington, 3rd Edition (Paperback)" contains practically everything that this book does and then takes the subject to a higher level.If you are looking for basic hiking information, this is the book to have. Unlike the above cited book, this book offers USGS map section references that can be found on the internet for further detail. Compare both books carefully. Each is priced the same, but this book offers less useful detail.
