William Sullivan: New Hikes in Oregon
Advertisement
Author and hiking guru William L. Sullivan takes us on a slide show tour of new and changed trails he discovered while updating his "100 Hikes" guidebooks for Oregon. We’ll visit a new “Painted Hills” preserve in Central Oregon, a boardwalk through the Redwood’s Grove of Titans, and a railroad trail in Scappoose. Sullivan will also talk about what’s changed because of recent wildfires, tell how to get permits for trails with limited access, and describe terrific but overlooked trails close to home that weren’t affected by fires or permits. As always, Sullivan spices his talk with anecdotes about history, wildflowers, and geology along the way.
Sullivan is the author of 22 books about history, mystery, and adventure. His journal of a 1000-mile hike across Oregon, Listening for Coyote, was chosen by the Oregon Cultural Heritage Commission as one of Oregon's 100 most significant books.
Free. First come, first seated. This event is supported by the Friends of the Salem Public Library.
El autor y experto en senderismo William L. Sullivan nos ofrece una presentación visual sobre nuevos senderos y modificados que descubrió mientras actualizaba sus guías "100 Hikes" para Oregón. Visitaremos una nueva reserva natural en "Painted Hills" en el centro de Oregón, una pasarela de madera en el "Grove of Titans" de las secuoyas, y un sendero ferroviario en Scappoose. Sullivan también hablará sobre los cambios provocados por los recientes incendios forestales, explicará cómo obtener permisos para senderos de acceso limitado y describirá rutas magníficas pero poco conocidas cerca de casa que no se vieron afectadas por los incendios ni requieren permisos especiales. Como siempre, Sullivan ameniza su charla con anécdotas sobre historia, flores silvestres y geología de los lugares recorridos.
Sullivan es autor de 22 libros sobre historia, misterio y aventuras. Su diario de viaje sobre una caminata de 1000 millas a través de Oregón, *Listening for Coyote*, fue seleccionado por la Comisión del Patrimonio Cultural de Oregón como uno de los 100 libros más importantes del estado.
Gratis. Por orden de llegada. Este evento cuenta con el apoyo de la Fundación de la Biblioteca Pública de Salem.
