Best Hikes With Children in Western & Central Oregon

Invaluable tips on hiking with kids, featuring 27 new hikes and an environmental and safety focus.

In this newly revised edition, Henderson guides families, seniors, and anyone looking for fun and easy outings to some of Oregon's best trails. Hikers can choose from scouting for whales at Cape Lookout; following the mysterious little Hobbit Trail; traversing the alpine meadows of Mount Hood; or wandering among Oregon's myriad forests, waterfalls, lakes, and lookouts.

With 100 easily accessible day hikes and overnighters and practical information on distance, difficulty, elevation, and best time to go, parents can quickly find great outings for their young adventurers. Hikes are designed with enough "rewards" along the way-caves, anthills, spectacular viewpoints-to keep enthusiasm running high, or to make even a partial day's outing a success.
