› Find signed collectible books: '100 Hikes in Northwest Oregon'
Where else but in Northwest Oregon could hikers have so many great options within a two-hour drive? This guide covers more than just the well-known trails of the Portland area, Columbia Gorge, and Mt. Hood. You'll discover a path to a free Willamette River ferry, a historic cabin overlooking Mt. Jefferson, and a natural rock arch near Hood River. Forty-one of the trips are open even in winter. And because some of the area's best trails are just north of the Columbia, there's comprehensive coverage of Mt. St. Helens National Volcanic Monument and the Indian Heaven Wilderness, too. The book features a variety of difficulty levels. Hikers with children will find 46 hikes carefully chosen for them. On the other hand, a quarter of the hikes included are unabashedly strenuous. Nearly half of the trails are rated as suitable for backpackers as well as day hikers. At the back of the book you'll find a list of 21 all-accessible trails suitable for strollers and wheelchairs. And if you really want to get away from it all, there's an appendix describing 100 MORE hikes in Northwest Oregon -- little-known but interesting trails for adventurous spirits. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Complete Walker IV'
For the first time since 1984, we have a new edition of the classic book that Field & Stream called the Hikers Bible. For this version, the celebrated writer and hiker Colin Fletcher has taken on a coauthor, Chip Rawlins, himself an avid outdoorsman and a poet from Wyoming. Together, they have made this fourth edition of The Complete Walker the most informative, entertaining, and thorough version yet.
The eighteen years since the publication of The Complete Walker III have seen revolutionary changes in hiking and camping equipment: developments in waterproofing technology, smaller and more durable stoves, lighter boots, more manageable tents, and a wider array of food options. The equipment recommendations are therefore not merely revised and tweaked, but completely revamped. During these two decades we have also seen a deepening of environmental consciousness. Not only has backpacking become more popular, but a whole ethic of responsible outdoorsmanship has emerged. In this book the authors confidently lead us through these technological, ethical, and spiritual changes.
Fletcher and Rawlinss thorough appraisal and recommendation of equipment begins with a Ground Plan, a discussion of general hiking preparedness. How much to bring? What are the ideal clothes, food, boots, and tents for your trip? They evaluate each of these variables in detailincluding open, honest critiques and endorsements of brand-name equipment. Their equipment searches are exhaustive; they talk in detail about everything from socks to freeze-dried trail curries.
They end as they began, with a philosophical and literary disquisition on the reasons to walk, capped off with a delightful collection of quotes about walking and the outdoor life. After a thoughtful and painstaking analysis of hiking gear from hats to boots, from longjohns to tent flaps, they remind us that ultimately hiking is about the experience of being outdoors and seeing the green world anew.
Like its predecessors, The Complete Walker IV is an essential purchase for anyone captivated by the outdoor life. [via]

Your initial reaction to Bill Bryson's reading of A Walk in the Woods may well be "Egads! What a bore!" But by sentence three or four, his clearly articulated, slightly adenoidal, British/American-accented speech pattern begins to grow on you and becomes quite engaging. You immediately get a hint of the humor that lies ahead, such as one of the innumerable reasons he longed to walk as many of the 2,100 miles of the Appalachian Trail as he could. "It would get me fit after years of waddlesome sloth" is delivered with glorious deadpan flair. By the time our storyteller recounts his trip to the Dartmouth Co-op, suffering serious sticker shock over equipment prices, you'll be hooked.
When Bryson speaks for the many Americans he encounters along the way--in various shops, restaurants, airports, and along the trail--he launches into his American accent, which is whiny and full of hard r's. And his southern intonations are a hoot. He's even got a special voice used exclusively when speaking for his somewhat surprising trail partner, Katz. In the 25 years since their school days together, Katz has put on quite a bit of weight. In fact, "he brought to mind Orson Welles after a very bad night. He was limping a little and breathing harder than one ought to after a walk of 20 yards." Katz often speaks in monosyllables, and Bryson brings his limited vocabulary humorously to life. One of Katz's more memorable utterings is "flung," as in flung most of his provisions over the cliff because they were too heavy to carry any farther.
The author has thoroughly researched the history and the making of the Appalachian Trail. Bryson describes the destruction of many parts of the forest and warns of the continuing perils (both natural and man-made) the Trail faces. He speaks of the natural beauty and splendor as he and Katz pass through, and he recalls clearly the serious dangers the two face during their time together on the trail. So, A Walk in the Woods is not simply an out-of-shape, middle-aged man's desire to prove that he can still accomplish a major physical task; it's also a plea for the conservation of America's last wilderness. Bryson's telling is a knee-slapping, laugh-out-loud funny trek through the woods, with a touch of science and history thrown in for good measure. (Running time: 360 minutes, four cassettes) --Colleen Preston [via]

The Pacific Northwest is a premier spot for waterfall viewing, and with this guidebook you'll soon be feasting your eyes and ears on--or maybe getting wet under--your choice of the many cascades, horsetails, and punchbowls this region has to offer. Arranged in 14 sections, ranging from northern Washington to southern Idaho, A Waterfall Lover's Guide to the Pacific Northwest provides listings for literally hundreds of places where water ribbons down awe-inspiring mountains and cliffs in a wide variety of pristine settings. To make decisions about which areas to visit a little easier, each waterfall is starred one to five (five being the most spectacular) and given an accessibility rating. For instance, the car symbol and a two-star grade for Pegleg Falls in the Oregon Cascades indicates that the falls do not require a four-wheel drive vehicle, a stroll, or an extended hike to get to, and they are "Pretty ... nice background for a picnic," falling short of "good" (three stars), "very good" (four stars), and "exceptional" (five stars). The author provides several possibilities within each subregion, making "waterfall bagging" a very tempting pursuit. [via]
