While showcasing convenient “looped” routes, it also describes complete throughways connecting Portland to the coastal communities of Seaside and Tillamook.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDesigned to both inform and entertain, each of the 30 trails described includes a “backstory” highlighting the rich histories of Native Americans, white settlers, loggers, and railroad operators.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile suitable for hikers, equestrians, and bikers, many of these trails have never been surveyed for recreational use. All are meticulously surveyed and described here, alongside detailed and annotated maps. Some trails are located on private timber holdings, accessible only by paid permit, while access to others is free. In most cases vehicular traffic is not permitted; neither is camping, littering, or making fires. From time to time, access may be restricted due to fire danger or commercial activity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe maps, notes, and tips provided in \u003cem\u003eHiking from Portland to the Coast\u003c\/em\u003e will be invaluable for those adventurers who wish to wander far from the beaten track. Less intrepid explorers will find plenty of short and scenic exploratory hikes in the forests that parallel Highway 26 to Seaside or Highway 6 to Tillamook.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55418511425910,"sku":"9780870718779","price":17.43,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_29775428.jpg?v=1742861387","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780870718779-hiking-from-portland-to-the-coast","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
