The time I've spent hiking and exploring in the Olallie Lake Scenic Area, the Mount Jefferson, Mount Washington, Three Sisters, Waldo Lake, Diamond Peak, and the Mount Thielsen Wildernesses have been some of my most enjoyable wilderness trips. I carefully selected 75 hikes from the high country of the central Oregon Cascades for this FalconGuide. A land of waterfalls, towering volcanoes, and primeval forest, the scenic Cascades have hikes for everyone- from easy strolls to scenic overlooks and challenging backpack trips through rugged alpine terrain. Each hike has at-a-glance information and an elevation profile so you can easily find the type of hike you want. Sharp black and white photos give you a feel for the country. There's a map and detailed trailhead directions for each trail, and the descriptions give first hand information on the hike. The introduction has advice on weather, hiking conditions, and the appropriate gear and technique for Oregon's mountains.
