Trails that do not qualify as “wild” also include pleasant routes that feature wild scenery but are located near major roads or go through and around golf courses, such as those at Skamania Lodge or at Glendoveer and Rose City golf clubs.

I have hiked every trip in this book at least once and most of them several times. However, roads and trails do constantly change. New routes are built, old trails cease to be maintained or are simply abandoned, and floods and landslides obliterate some routes. Your comments on recent developments or changes are welcome. Please write to me in care of Wilderness Press at mail@ wildernesspress.com.

The Second Edition & Its 60 New Hikes

It is time, all you enthusiastic hikers out there, for the much anticipated second edition of Afoot & Afield Portland/Vancouver. Those familiar with the first edition will find several changes and significant improvements. First of all, every map has been redone, updated, and significantly improved to be more user friendly. Most trips now have their own map while others are shown on a map with other nearby trails, and many more landmarks and details are shown to help visitors follow the trail. In addition, the organizational format and numbering system has been streamlined to make it much easier for you to find hikes in the area you are interested in visiting.
