Review Quotes

"The Sierra Club's 50 Hikes in the Tillamook and Clatsop State Forests is part traditional guidebook, part manifesto on environmental preservation, aiming to inspire in readers an appreciation of public lands--and a corresponding determination to protect the Tillamook and Clatsop State Forests from eager logging companies."
--Catherine Johnson, Portland Monthly Magazine

"Less known to Oregon hikers, the deep woods of the Tillamook State Forest are a mystery no longer. Close to Portland, but uncrowded and easy to access, these 50 hikes lead to explorations of meadows, creeks, swimming holes, and peaks in an iconic Oregon ecosystem, the temperate rainforest." --Laura O. Foster, author of Columbia Gorge Getaways: 12 Weekend Adventures from Towns to Trails

"With easy walks and hair-raising bushwhacks, this explorer's guide to the woods between Portland and the Coast is a manifesto that our state forests should celebrate hiking boots, and not just chainsaws and motorcycles." --William L. Sullivan, author of 100 Hikes guidebooks
