4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent guide to exploring Oregon's geology, June 19, 2007

Langiller (White Salmon, WA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Hiking Oregon's Geology (Hiking Geology) (Paperback)

This is a great book for anyone wanting to take hikes to see representative geology and to read a geological description of what they're seeing. The author details ninety hikes, mostly day hikes, in all corners of the state. The 'trailhead' directions are clear and easy to follow as are the descriptions of the trails. The book opens with an excellent 14 page introduction to Oregon's geological history and a nice appendix on indentifying rocks minerals. Dr. Bishop also wrote the 'In search of ancient Oregon', an outstanding overview of the states geological history.
