Much agreed on the 60 Hikes series! My copy for Portland is beat up, and I've had the chance to meet the author a couple of times and get a few tips that never made it to print. A bunch of my other hiking books are older ones I've picked up at garage sales (1960's-1970's), and I've often found that some of the trails in those books that have stopped being maintained over the years are some of the most fun to traverse :)
