I had a chance to play “famous guidebook author” yesterday on Hybrid Life Radio. The link to the podcast is here, and you can get a signed copy of 60 Hikes Within 60 Miles of Portland here.

Good times!

There are few finer places than the Salmon River this time of year — unless it’s the Salmon River in fall when the salmon are in. Until then, here are some photos from last weekend’s chill hike up there.

Note that it’s on my 60 Hikes Within 60 Miles of Portland Facebook page, which I encourage you to join, or like, or whatever.
