Product Description

The combined expertise of Art Bermstein and Andrew Jackman make this book a special one, more than just another guidebook. The authors are naturalists, long time observers of nature in the Pacific Northwest.

Art Bernstein's warm and down to earth style conveys to the readers the authors' knowledge of the flora, fauna, geology, and local history, including the reforestation of the Mount Saint Helens region. His descriptions and story telling are vivid, entertaining and inviting.

"Portland Hikes" has good literary value, as well as being a primer for observant hikers wanting to know more about this beautiful region.

"Portland Hikes" goes beyond the city boundaries. The 70 selected trails described are day-hikes. Some are short and some are a little longer. All are of easy access from downtown, and a short drive away to the surrounding wilderness areas, state, and national parks of Oregon and Washington.

3.0 out of 5 stars Portland Hikes Third Edition, May 14, 2007

By	Elisabeth Martin (Portland, OR) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I recently purchased Portland Hikes to replace my original book that is so worn it's falling apart. I didn't realize I was purchasing the third edition. Everything is mostly the same, except for the maps. The maps in the original book are full-page, while they are only half page in the 3rd edition. All of the relevant information for your ultimate destination is provided, but they have removed the surrounding sites, which I enjoyed. The font seems to be a bit smaller, too. I can live with that, but I really preferred the larger maps. All that to save a few pages...???
