Our favorite hikes and sightseeing adventures are yours; with GPS coordinates and driving directions to make the trips easy to find. Included is your connection to over 1800 online color photos so you may preview each excursion in advance, and to keep as a permanent record of the trip to view over again, and re-live what we feel to be our adventures of a lifetime! We thoroughly enjoyed our years hiking in Southern Oregon and found ourselves repeating some of them many times over, because there were always new sights, discoveries, branch trails, animals and birds to keep it exciting. Many of our hikes continue far past where we have turned around, and one (The Rogue River Trail) stretches 40 miles one way from Grave Creek to Big Bend. Some of the mountain lake trails have alternate routes where the trails split and head off in opposite directions to eventually meet up again before continuing. Some of these scenic treks are so beautiful that we have not only taken them full circle, but returned again to hike to a halfway point, and then to turn around and return the same way, due to the incredible scenery. Most all of our travels were for pure enjoyment of the magnificence of this gorgeous country; not for the physical torture of extreme exercise. For this reason, many of our adventures are easier to follow than many hikes, because the exertion comes more from the distance traveled than the difficulty of the terrain. So very often, the scenery is so spectacular that one just has to stop in order to appreciate the grandeur of such wild and untouched beauty! This book includes 43 hikes and 38 side trips. During our adventures, we seldom met many travelers, as Southern Oregon's splendor is so vast there could be thousands of hikers in these mountains at the same time, and yet meeting or passing others is a rarity. On occasion, we would meet hikers that carried the excitement of having seen or had an encounter with a Sasquatch, and on those occasions, they were very anxious to share their experience. These stories, along with others we have collected, are contained in our three Sasquatch books (They Saw Sasquatch, Sasquatch Encounters, and Bigfoot Uncovered).
