WHAT'S NEW
Hike of the month:
Olallie Mountain
7.2 miles round trip 1,460 ft. elevation gain Rated as moderate Olallie Mountain is one of those amazing underrated hikes located on the west side of the Three Sisters Wilderness. In 2017 a portion of this trail burned, and later someone burned down the old lookout that once stood at the summit. But the views of the Cascade Mountains have not changed and are still as beautiful as ever! Check this out:⚠️NEW Hike Oregon guidebook!
The brand new Hike Oregon guidebook 'Lakes of the Cascades: 50 Enchanting Oregon Lake Hikes' focuses on those beautiful alpine lakes from the Mount Hood area all the way down to Southern Oregon. Some lakes have pristine sandy shorelines, some have views for days, some are surrounded by lush forests, and some are rocky and perfect for fishing. Almost all of the hikes in this book are awesome backpacking destinations, whether you want to take the kids for a short 2-4 miles into the wilderness, or you want to hike for 12 miles before getting to your secluded cascade lake. I have included fishing information for these lakes for those of you who want to catch your own dinner, and as always, I include driving directions from 4-5 major towns in the state, there are color topographical maps with a scannable QR code so you can have the map on your phone, and each hike write-up features 1-3 color pictures.
