Roundabout Books is excited to host Portland author Eli Boschetto, who will share stories about hiking through and choosing the 100 trails that are collected in his new book, “100 Classic Hikes: Oregon”. The event takes place at Roundabout Books on Nov. 14 at 5:30 pm.
The varied landscapes of Oregon are a year-round hiker’s paradise, offering an abundance of volcanic peaks, dramatic coastlines, lush forests, wide-open high deserts, winding canyons, and sparkling alpine lakes. Hiking expert and author Eli Boschetto brings his deep knowledge and passion for trails and Oregon’s hiking community to “100 Classic Hikes: Oregon”.
Designed for use by day hikers and backpackers alike, this new guidebook highlights the state’s best natural spaces along with routes of historical or cultural significance. Boschetto provides options for both shortening or extending many hikes so everyone can find the route that matches their skill and energy level–and, of course, includes distance and time for each route as well as difficulty rating, elevation gain, permit information, and more. The new guide includes “Best for” trail lists for wildflower viewing, fishing, views, waterfalls, and more. It also contains detailed full-color topo maps and stunning color photos complement every trail.
Eli Boschetto is the author of “Hiking the Pacific Crest Trail: Oregon”, “Day Hiking: Mount Hood”, and “Urban Trails: Portland”. He is a former writer for “Backpacker” magazine and editor of “Washington Trails” magazine and has served on the advisory council of the Oregon Trails Coalition. Eli lives in Portland, Oregon. Connect with him online at pctoregon.com.
