Located between the population centers of Portland and Eugene,
Oregon's Willamette Valley boasts rich opportunities for outdoor
recreation that are too often overlooked. Wild in the Willamette is
a guidebook to the natural treasures of the mid-Willamette Valley,
extending far beyond the familiar I-5 corridor. Sprinkled with
natural history sidebars and infused with essays by notable local
authors, it aims to connect residents and visitors with the best
hiking, biking, and paddling opportunities the mid-Valley offers.
With a special focus on seven watersheds-the Marys, Calapooia,
South Santiam, North Santiam, Luckiamute, Yamhill, and Pudding-as
well as the middle portion of the main stem Willamette River, the
book describes a range of outings at different levels of challenge.
Families with young children, day hikers, long-distance
backpackers, kayakers, canoeists, bird watchers, and cyclists alike
will find ideas for spending a satisfying afternoon or venturing
outside for a multiday trip. Whether choosing a
wheelchair-accessible trail, a rugged hike in a wilderness area, a
dip in a rocky swimming hole, a paddle on the broad Willamette, or
a bike ride through farmland-whether lifetime residents or
week-long visitors-outdoor enthusiasts will benefit from detailed
notes on the history and ecology of this special place. Armchair
travelers will also find reward in the book's literary and natural
history offerings. Generously illustrated with maps and keys to the
area's many attractions, Wild in the Willamette, a companion volume
to the Portland-Vancouver region's Wild in the City, is an
essential guide to the natural wonders of Oregon's mid-Willamette
Valley.
