A great example of how esoteric and magical Portland is. Like the review mention, there are so many beautiful off-the-beaten path areas of Portland that many people don't get to experience. The author has taken the time to carefully map out different walking tours all over the Metro area. These are not your average 'nature hikes'. Instead you'll get a real feel for the mix of urban and natural areas of Portland. Plus maps, parking directions, hidden stairways and geological information. Go explore!

This is a very comprehensive once-over guide to the Portland metro area, the Gorge, the Coast, etc. It's full of lesser-known tidbits that even natives weren't sure of - like how to get to John Yeon park in the Gorge, where to park to hike in Forest Park, what to do on Sauvie Island, and surprisingly current restaurant and food listings.
Also covers Oregon history. Easy to read and a great value!
