A letdown for people wanting to hike with their dogs June 20, 2005
12 out of 12 found this review helpful
I picked this book up on impulse, and got myself geared up to take my dog on a few great hikes around Portland. Unfortunately this book was disappointing on a couple of different levels.
First, the author goes into quite a lot of history on the origins of the park's name the hike is in - and not nearly enough information on the hike itself. For example, on the triple falls hike there is mention that it is a busy hike, but nothing about it being on a drop off a lot of the way with the path just barely big enough for people to squeeze past each other in a lot of places. Not fun with dogs really, trying to get by playful or unmannered dogs with one eye on the 500 ft fall. Second, the directions to the trailheads are sparse and require that you know where the hike is in general given that there are no maps, not even an overall map of where the hikes are located around Portland, information I was looking to the book to provide. Finally, a lot of the hikes aren't hikes really but just 'this park has trails' which frankly isn't anything new for people in Portland with dogs.
