Über den Autor

Douglas Lorain's family moved to the Pacific Northwest in 1969 and he has been obsessively hitting the trails of his home region ever since. Over the years he calculates that he has logged well over 31,000 trail miles in this corner of the country. Despite a history that includes being shot at by a hunter, bitten by a rattlesnake, trapped in quicksand, charged by grizzly bears (twice!), and donating countless gallons of blood to invertebrate vampires, he happily sees no end in sight.Lorain is a photographer and recipient of the National Outdoor Book Award. His books cover only the best from the thousands of hikes and backpacking trips he has taken throughout Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming, and elsewhere. His other guidebook titles include Top Trails Olympic National Park, 100 Classic Hikes in Oregon, Backpacking Oregon, Backpacking Washington, Backpacking Wyoming, One Night Wilderness: Portland, One Best Hike: Mount Rainier's Wonderland Trail, and Afoot & Afield Portland/Vancouver. Although he considers his real home to be on the trail, those days he is forced to stay indoors, he spends with his wife, Becky Lovejoy, and their Labrador retriever, Seabrook
