⚠️NEW BOOKS ARE HERE!!!
I am so happy to announce that the brand new '52 Hikes for 52 Weeks: in the Willamette Valley, Central Oregon Cascades & Coast' books are finally available! This book was originally published in late 2018 but the 2020 wildfires wiped out a bunch of the hikes in the book so it hasn't been sold for over a year now and has been completely rewritten. There are a total of 52 hikes (27 of them new to this edition) set up to start the first week of January and take you through the entire year. With this book you will never have to ask yourself, "what hike should I do this week" ever again

What trails are accessible:

With the wildfire devastation that has occurred in Oregon in September 2020, fires from the 2021 summer and new early fall snow flying, trail and road closures can change quickly this time of year.

In this video I recap my year, talk about the Oregon Coast Trail, snow camping, a little bit of gear, I explain ‘backpacker brain escape’, and I get quite vulnerable about the future.
