Calling all hikers with a yen for high, lonely places: you can bag that peak if you want to. Scrambling is the bridge between hiking and rock climbing. It involves off-trail travel-making your way over rough terrain and sometimes using your hands for balance and safety on nearly vertical rock-but does not require technical climbing gear. 75 Scrambles in Oregon will take you to some of the same summits that climbers enjoy-but by less extreme routes.

These scrambles (short, easy introductory routes and longer, more difficult scrambles) are generously spread across Oregon: the Cascades; Klamath Mountains (SW corner); East Cascades; the Wallowas, Elkhorns, and Blue Mountains (NE); the Strawberry Mountains near John Day; and remote desert ranges (SE corner). Routes are rated for difficulty and skill level. Where nonstandard equipment such as an ice axe, crampons, rope, or helmet are advised, that is noted route by route.

Barbara I. Bond is a trip leader for the Mazamas, an outdoor activities and conservation club. She is a professional writer and lives in Portland, Oregon. You can find Barbara on FACEBOOK, or you can visit her web site for more information at OregonScrambles.com.

Cool Off After Coachella At These 3 Desert Oases

The People’s Knife: Vosteed Psyop Micarta Review
  I’ve been keen to get my hands on a knife with a little more bulk.

With that in...

Our Editors Love This ‘Go Anywhere’ Utility Bike: Eaglebear Black Everyday Review
  You’ve probably never heard of Eaglebear Bikes before. Don’t worry — I hadn’t either. That’s probably because the brand didn’t exist until April 2024, and it sells just one bike model (in several variations).   It’s more likely that you’ve heard of the popular kids bike brand Prevelo. Prevelo produces a complete line of some of the best kids bikes on...

Comfortable, Streamlined, and Intuitive: First Lite Treeline Turkey Vest Review
  I’ve tested a ton of turkey hunting vests over the years. None of them fit or function exactly as you hope, and almost all of them require some type of modification.   However, First Lite’s new Treeline turkey vest almost nails the mark. Its intuitive, economical storage gives you just enough room for your best calls, but it’s also designed with...
