If you're in the market for a hiking book, you really can't go wrong with anything written by William Sullivan or Douglas Lorain. You can also check out the field guide at http://www.portlandhi... . Yet another good strategy would be to go back through the PHMG calendar and check out some of the hikes that we've posted in the past. Have fun out there!!!

Post #: 120	Like Zach said, check out past hikes here and at the portlandhikers.org site. As for challenging hikes? Thats very subjective. What would you call a challenging hike? Table Mountain is a good one but its easy to add miles if you have never been on this hike.
