Explore pastoral Sauvie Island, where great blue herons launch themselves heavily into flight. Take secret pleasure in Marshall Park, a glittering tree-covered treasure hidden between busy urban thoroughfares. These pockets of wilderness, and many others like them, aid your escape from the urban bustle. In Nature Walks In & Around Portland, long-time local park explorers Karen and Terry Whitehill present 37 of their favourite nature walks, ranging from one-half to six miles in length.
One of the nicest things about this book is it includes a small map of the Portland Area with all of the locations marked. Many books do not include this simple feature which makes it very nice to find walks near you or in a particular area. All of the directions for getting everywhere are very clear. Each walk includes a small map, distance, time required, best time to go, highlights, terrain, and commentary. It is also really good about stating whether or not a hike is good for wheelchairs and strollers.
