If you want just one guide for Oregon, this is the one
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This book covers 100 hikes over the entire state. The hikes tend to be the best ones in a given area. The production values are extremely high, with color photos and color topo overlay maps throughout. If you want regional guides, then Sullivan's or the Portland/Vancouver volume of Lorain's are more thorough and have more hikes, but if you need one volume for the whole state, this is the one.
More Overview Maps Needed

The descriptions, color photos, and maps for the hikes are good. The weakness is that while the book is divided into 10 geographic sections, it lacks a map for each of these sections. For example, if you're considering hiking in the Central Cascades, it would be useful to study a map that locates all the hikes in the Central Cascades section of the book.

A great handbook to have with you. Lovely pictures, great details on the trails and difficulty levels, etc. and what you can expect along the trail.
