This guide includes trail descriptions and maps of the author's favorite short hikes in and around Bend, Redmond, Sisters, and other great outdoor spots in Central Oregon. All hikes included in this little book do not have steep hills, all are on well-defined, easy-to-follow trails, and all take hikers into some of the most scenic sections of Central Oregon. Published in a convenient, pocket-sized format, Best Easy Day Hikes Bend and Central Oregon describes 30 of the area's best easy day hikes.
I have a couple of girls who are 10 and a wife who isn't into hiking. I get out to Central Oregon regularly, so it's nice to find a book focused on easier and accessible hikes.
The book provides a lot of concrete details and directions, somthing often missing. Physically it is a small book, and will fit easily into a day-pack.
