This book is designed for two groups of people: those who already know the pleasures and rejuvenating qualities of spending a night in the wilderness; and those who hope to soon join that club. The goal is to provide the first guide to all the best one- (and a few two-) night hikes within a three-hour drive of Portland. There are trips here for all ability levels, from short and easy strolls suitable for backpackers of any age, to extended trips of 20 miles or more that will test even the fittest hiker. What they all have in common is a close proximity to Portland, terrific scenery, and inviting campsites that make them suitable for weekend trips.

While researching this guide, I hiked every trip in this book at least once and most of them numerous times. However, roads and trails constantly change as new routes are built, old trails are abandoned, and floods and landslides obliterate existing routes. Your comments on recent developments or changes for future editions are always welcome. Please write to me in care of Wilderness Press at info@wildernesspress.com.
