How to Use This Book

Rail-Trails: Washington and Oregon provides the information you’ll need to plan a rewarding rail-trail trek. With words to inspire you and maps to chart your path, it makes choosing the best route a breeze. Following are some of the highlights.

Maps

You’ll find three levels of maps in this book: an overall regional map, state locator maps, and detailed trail maps.

Each chapter details a particular state’s network of trails, marked on locator maps in the chapter introduction. Use these maps to find the trails nearest you, or select several neighboring trails and plan a weekend hiking or biking excursion. Once you find a trail on a state locator map, simply flip to the corresponding page number for a full description. Accompanying trail maps mark each route’s access roads, trailheads, parking areas, restrooms, and other defining features.
