I am the author of several books on hiking, camping, eating breakfast and chilling out. I am also a freelance travel writer, publisher, hiker, and inveterate traveler.
Well, I am off the road again, having just returned from the latest hiking in Tuscany trip, and it's time to think like a hiker and breakfast guy, and author and publisher, again. I'll be getting back into the new breakfast book this week, but first, it's time to get out there and do some talking...

I just got my hands on a terrific-looking new book called Walking Portland, from the same company (Wilderness Press) that does my hiking books. There are so many books about walks in Portland that, at first, I wondered what the company was thinking. There are books about wilderness in town, trees,...

I will be leading an awesome hike this September 15-21 for the Mazamas. It's called Hiking and Climbing in the Trinity Alps, and as of today there are still a couple of spots left! I am always amazed Portland hikers don't know more about the Trinities. It's basically the same drive as to the Wallowas,...

Not many folks have heard of the Salmonberry River, and that's because for years the only way to access it was to walk a 16-mile canyon with nothing man-made but a railroad. The railroad was okay with this, except in the peak of summer when fire worries made them close it. And the only folks who really...

I have always been a little tormented by my feelings about hot women. For years, I was so repressed and had such low self-esteem that my head would fill with negative stories about my attraction to them: You shouldn't look at her like that, you pervert! Be cool, don't stare! Who are you, thinking about...

I love my coffee. In fact, I can't wait to finish this blog post and go get some. I love it almost as much as breakfast and hiking, and that's saying something. That's why I seriously dig this new book called Left Coast Roast, by Portland writer Hanna Neuschwander. It's subtitled "A Guide to the Best...

Since I don't hike much this time of year, other than occasional Gorge hikes, I figured I could at least offer some news and related events. And so: On February 6 one of my employers, the very impressive Donovan Pacholl of Embark Adventures, will give a talk at the Mazamas on climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro....
