Oregon Wild Wednesday: William Sullivan at Base Camp Brewing

[Oregon Wild]

If you’re a serious hiker in Oregon, you’ve probably heard his name. You may have read one of his novels. His famous hand drawn maps might have guided you back to the trailhead from a distant wilderness vista. His name is William Sullivan and no man is more synonymous with Oregon hiking trails than the fifth generation Oregonian and Eugene native.

Join Oregon Wild and William Sullivan for a special Oregon Wild Wednesday event on April 23rd from 6–8 p.m. at Base Camp Brewing in Portland. Bill will be sharing "New and Endangered Hikes in Oregon," a presentation Wild Wednesday not to be missed!

Sullivan is best known for his 100 Hikes series that details the best hikes in five distinct regions of the state. He has gathered his hiking trail knowledge over a three decade career, including a 1985 trip where he set out to investigate Oregon’s wilderness on a 1,361-mile solo backpacking trek.

Anyone here going? (I'm thinking about it...)

Fun! Not only did I (have the extreme pleasure to) meet Miah66 and Pdxtrojan, but I met them because I won the raffle for a free book of Bill's! Definitely a good diversion for the evening.

So have you decided what new hikes out of the book you're going to try yet?

I also had a PH-in-town evening, running into (and getting to introduce!) Bosterton and Rick6003 at the Banff Mountain Film Festival.

No, not yet, but he did convince me to do one I'd already been thinking about, as he talked about his adventures there during the talk.

Oh cool, that sounds like a fun night, as well!
