As any hiker knows, nature and our pathways into it are ever-changing; wildfires reshape whole forests and open up views, floods and landslides obliterate long-established routes, and roads and trails constantly change as new routes are built and old trails are abandoned. Your comments on recent developments or changes for future editions are always welcome. Please write to Wilderness Press at info@wildernesspress.com or directly to me at bohlsen@gmail.com.
