About TrailsNW

TrailsNW was created in 1998 to share my personal hiking experiences and help my fellow hikers. Originally showcasing only Oregon hiking, it soon grew to include Washington hikes, and eventually trails and hikes throughout the Pacific Northwest. As the site's popularity has grown, I have added features to help other hikers share their own experiences. TrailsNW will continue to evolve and grow to be the best resource for hikers and backpackers in the Northwest.

Photo Commenting!

   Feb 4, 2009
I have been working (slowly) on a commenting system for the site, and have reached the first phase of implementation, commenting on member photos. This is the first step, and hopefully soon I will have the commenting system applied to hike logs, as well as a messaging system so members can more easily interact with each other.

Return of Winter

   Dec 15, 2008
The snow and bitter temperatures have hit the Northwest. A good layer of snow and ice covers the ground and just stepping outside into the cold, swirling air takes my breath away.. With this renewed appreciation of the cold, I stumbled upon wyicked's account of his Presidential Traverse, which features him and his hiking partner battling freezing temperatures and blizzard conditions. Check out this good read here.
