Discover the best PCT sections for a day hike or weekend jaunt
Sweeping views, glorious meadows, towering peaks, countless lakes and waterfalls, Oregon's portion of the 2,650-mile Pacific Crest Trail includes some of the most beautiful hikes in the country. Let local hiking expert Paul Gerald guide you to the best of them. You'll find 28 day and overnight hikes, from a four-mile trip up Chinidere Mountain—with views stretching from Mount Jefferson to Mount Rainier—to a 30-mile trek to the incomparable Maidu Lake, the headwaters of the North Umpqua River.
This comprehensive guidebook includes trail maps and elevation profiles, as well as ratings for scenery, difficulty, solitude, trail condition, and accessibility for children. You'll also find driving directions to trailheads, GPS waypoints for key locations, permit and fee instructions, and details about what to expect on the trail.
Traverse the “high road” through Oregon as the PCT crosses Mount Hood National Forest, Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area, Crater Lake National Park, and so much more. Every trip is another adventure.
One day years ago, Paul Gerald was sitting in his cubicle at a highly respected insurance company when the phone rang. It was a good friend inviting him on a walk across Oregon on the Pacific Crest Trail. A few months later, Paul was unemployed and sleeping in the woods—just the way he likes it.
It’s not like he was a “career guy” when that phone rang. He grew up in Memphis and developed addictions early on to both hiking and traveling. He got the journalism bug while at Southern Methodist University in the 1980s and went on to work in the sports departments of the Dallas Times-Herald and Memphis Commercial Appeal. He was also a staff writer and travel columnist for the Memphis Flyer.
He moved to Portland in 1996 because it’s a whole lot closer to mountains, old forests, clear rivers, and lonesome ocean beaches. Along the way, he has also written for Portland’s Willamette Week, the Oregonian, and all sorts of newspapers, magazines, and websites around the country. And to avoid doing any kind of settled work, he has dabbled in commercial fishing, social work, tossing packages into trucks, driving a taxi, and being a tour guide.
Paul is the author of Menasha Ridge Press’s best-selling 60 Hikes Within 60 Miles: Portland, the sixth edition of which came out in Spring 2018. He also wrote, for Menasha Ridge, Peaceful Places: Portland and Best Tent Camping: Oregon. He wrote and published (as Bacon and Eggs Press) three editions of Breakfast in Bridgetown: The Definitive Guide to Portland’s Favorite Meal, and in 2018 he published a travel and cultural guide, The Groundhopper’s Guide to Soccer in England.
