Hiking Oregon's History by William L. Sullivan

Hiking Oregon's History by William L. Sullivan

This is a terrific book, even if you don't venture out for the hikes found inside.  It provides an enjoyable history lesson that is a great introduction to some very beautiful hikes.

Our own Briggs Creek is featured in the "Gold!" chapter, and it is such a great place to spend an afternoon exploring; it's become one of my favorite hikes.

So far, my husband and I have taken about 60% of the hikes in this book, so we can attest the accuracy of the directions and how easy or difficult the trail is.

The Starvation Creek Falls was the first hike we went on from Hiking Oregon's History.  When Sullivan describes "... a clifftop viewpoint.  From there you can see the entire sweep of the Columbia Gorge...", he means it; it is absolutely breathtaking!

The next hike we plan on taking is 29. Rogue River.  We can't wait to "Cross Oregon's bloodiest battlefield to a riverside waterfall."
