While I’m flying to Portland later today, author/photographer/backpacker Peter Marbach and editor Janet Cook will be
at the Powell’s on Hawthorne, talking about their new book: Mount
Hood, The Heart of Oregon. The book contains stunning views of the majestic mountain and includes details about Mt.
Hood and lesser known areas of the surrounding forest and its plethora of hiking trails. If you are at all interested
in visiting this beautiful area, be sure to get a copy of the book. Also check out
Travel Oregon, which has links to suggested trip ideas for the
Mt. Hood/Columbia River Gorge area, including
Walking in a Winter Wonderland, yet
another reason to consider visiting Portland this
month!
