100 Hikes/Travel Guide : Eastern Oregon

Welcome to the wide, wild world of Eastern Oregon! Come explore the alpine lakes of the craggy Wallowa Mountains, the gold mining ghost towns of the Blue Mountains, and the bubbling hot springs of Steens Mountain's high desert. This comprehensive guide has everything you need to plan a day hike, a weekend tour, or a weeks-long vacation between Bend and Hells Canyon, with tips on where to stay and what to see along the way.

About the author

Sullivan completed his B.A. in English at Cornell University, studied linguistics at Germany's Heidelberg University, and earned an M.A. in German at the University of Oregon.
In 1985 he backpacked 1000 miles across Oregon's wilderness. His journal of that adventure, "Listening for Coyote", topped the New York Times' year-end review of travel books and was chosen one of the 100 most significant books in Oregon history.
Since then he has written many novels, hiking guidebooks, and historical works. His memoir, "Cabin Fever", describes the 25 summers he and his wife Janell spent building a log cabin by hand along a roadless river in the wilds of Oregon's Coast Range. Each summer he still lives and writes at the cabin.
Sullivan reads in seven languages, plays the pipe organ, undertakes backcountry ski expeditions, and volunteers to support libraries.

Full of info but lacks easy directions to get to hikes in many cases.

So good that I borrowed from library and then ended up purchased a personal copy! Very well done! 👍🏼

Although this book covers 33% more area than the others, it is still only 100 hikes. Invaluable, though, and worth it if you are an Oregon hiker.
