Brian Barker, a local expert on Portland-area trails, is the author of Take A Walk Portland, a hiking guide that covers the city and the outlying hikes within a short drive. They are mostly accessible year round with the exception of a couple of seasonally closed trails.

This book will take hikers from the city to wild flower walks and waterfall walks as well. If you are from Portland or taking a trip there, I highly recommend picking up this guide to "walk" you through the town.

I always try to find a good hike or walk on our trips and this is a great guide to pick a few around town.

Brian has also been a contributor to Portland Monthly, writing about the area in and around Portland. Pick up Take A Walk Portland or other books by Sasquatch Books.
