HIKES & WALKS ON MT HOOD
Statesman Journal, Dan Hays
"What they have produced is
a vivid and enlightening little guide that quickly reveals Mt Hood is much
more than a skiing center. They provide descriptions and maps of 41 suggested
walks on and around the mountain..."
The Oregonian, Terry Richards Outdoor
Writer
"Every hiker
who tramps the trails of Mt Hood should carry this book,
not only to enjoy the trails but to plan for future adventures. " Terry
Richards, Outdoor
Writer
Richard Kohnstamm,
Timberline Lodge
"This compact book captures
the spirit, beauty, and awesome power of Mt. Hood.
The tips about which flowers to look for are an added bonus."
Linda Svendsen, President Boojum Expeditions
"This little
book beckons people of all ages and fitness levels to slip it into
their pockets and go. The
greatest enticement is that there are new hikes not found in other guide
books. Bravo! "
Robert Pierce, Expedition Leader
"Even if you have hiked
around Government Camp and Timberline Lodge
for years, you will discover new trails to explore---presented in
a
sensible, thoughtful format with maps for each trail."
Gill Delaney, Visitor from the UK,
global hiker
"No other book gives such a rich variety of hiking and
walking
opportunities around Mt Hood. We just loved the careful descriptions
and drawings which brought to life our hikes in this wonderful and
historic area. "
AROUND MT HOOD IN EASY STAGES
 The
Mazamas, Book Pick of 1998
"For a book so small that
is fits into a [large] shirt pocket, it contains as much or more information
than most others double its size and weight. It is for sure, a guide book
deserving to be treated to a hike.
The book is essentially a hiker's guide which has divided the 40+ mile Timberline
Trail into eight segments; then describes each segment along with the access
trails needed to reach the points of entry and exit to each section. Most are
fairly long one-day hikes and a car swap or shuttle is needed.
'Around Mt.
Hood in Easy Stages'
is a wonderful little book, remarkably detailed. It
contains maps, directions, mileages (both highway and trail) for the hikes,
plus many admirable line drawings of native plants, flowers, trees, and
significant sights along the way - elevations and difficulties that might
be encountered have not been forgotten. It tells you what to wear, what
to bring, and even contains a section on business resources in the area
(restaurants, inns, lodges, markets, etc.) This 1997 edition is so up-to-date
that the new Mazama Trail has a niche of its own."
