2013-03-15 02:35:54| Powells Books Events Calendar
Laura Foster's Portland Hill Walks: 24 Explorations in Parks and Neighborhoods, Completely Revised and Expanded (Timber Press) features 24 miniature adventures stocked with stunning views, hidden stairways, leafy byways, urban forests, and places to sit, eat, and soak in the local scene. Whether you feel like meandering through old streetcar neighborhoods or climbing a lava dome, there is a hill walk for every mood. New walks take you up to Willamette Stone State Park, across the St. Johns Bridge, down to the South Waterfront (with a ride on the aerial tram), along a stream in Gresham, and up Mounts Talbert and Scott. Portland is a walking city, and Portland Hill Walks will inspire you to enjoy it to its fullest! Join author Laura Foster for a four-mile guided walk to nearby Mt. Tabor and back. Please note that this walk will take place rain or shine, will last about two and a half hours, and will feature often-steep terrain.
