About New Hikes in the Central Oregon Cascades
Presented by William L. Sullivan, Author
Author and hiking guru William L. Sullivan takes us on a tour of a
dozen new or dramatically changed trails in the area between Salem and Bend,
featured in the newly released fifth edition of his guidebook, 100 Hikes in
the Central Oregon Cascades. Included are a new path along the Deschutes
River north of Bend, a new bird refuge trail at Salem, and several reopened
trails to wildflowers in the Cascades. He’ll also discuss the effects of
wildfires and the Forest Service’s new permit system. Along the way, expect
anecdotes about local history, plants, and outdoor lore.
