Product Description
Through full-color photographs, easy-to-use maps, and detailed trail descriptions, Oregon's Best Wildflower Hikes: Northwest Region takes the guesswork out of identifying the wildflowers that fill this beautiful section of the state. The book includes 49 day-hikes chosen for their optimal blooming potential, and all destination are accessible from Portland, Eugene, or any major Willamette Valley community in three hours' driving time or less. Northwest Oregon's coastal Sitka spruce forests, oak savanna woodlands, ponderosa pine forests, old growth Douglas fir forests, and alpine meadows teem with flowering plants to discover, and this guide shows you how to find and identify the best of the bunch.

 | Very good book. Jul 11, 2005 |
I bought this book and its companion Washington guide at the same time and have not been disappointed by either. The layout of the two books is similar and have all the info necessary to get to the trailhead, follow the trail, and enjoy the hikes. The maps are good and easy to follow, although elevation contours are not shown.
The photography in the Oregon guide is very good, but not nearly on the level of the Washington guide. Being confined to Northwest Oregon, all the hikes can be reached easily from any location in the Willamette Valley as wel as elsewhere. State-wide guides (such as the Washingtom companion) have hikes you may never visit because of the distance to the trailheads from where you live, but this regional Oregon guide has 52 hikes that you will want to visit.
Wildflowers (common and scientific names) you should expect to see are described in the discussion of each hike, although spring and summer bloomers are mixed with no mention made of which is likely to be blooming when.
A small quibble is that five of the hikes are not even in Oregon, but rather on the Washington side of the Columbia Gorge. Still, these hikes are as easy to reach for much of Willamette Valley's population as some of those in central Oregon. | | | | A great guide! Apr 3, 2004 |
| This guide has good maps, accurate trail ratings (at least for the several places I've visited and know of), beautiful pictures, and a good guide for blooming season. It covers hikes that will take most of the day to ones that are little more than a rest stop with scenic walking paths. For some of the sights listed in the gorge I've been there both when things are in bloom and when it is the height of summer and things are dry and arid. Both times have their beauty. This guide is well-written and easy to use. | | | | With 52 "user friendly" maps and 52 plant life profiles May 7, 2002 |
| Filled cover to cover with 115 beautiful color photography of flowers, trails, and natural splendor, Oregon's Best Wildflower Hikes: Northwest Region is an amazing and informative guide showcasing 51 day hikes for prime wildflower viewing of such stunning visual beauty that it is a wonder for both avid hikers and armchair travelers alike. Specific hiking paths through Columbia Gorge, Cascade Ranger, Willamette Valley and more are presented with 52 "user friendly" maps and 52 plant life profiles in this superbly presented guidebook which is especially recommended for flower and nature lovers who yearn to enjoy all that Oregon's Northwest Region has to offer. If you are planning a field trip or outdoor vacation in the northwest region of Oregon, begin with browsing the pages of George Wuerthner's Oregon's Best Wildflower Hikes! | | | Write your own review about Reader's Theaters: El Hombrecito de Jengibre (The Gingerbread Man) (Spanish Edition) (Building Fluency Through Reader's Theater)
