Another new map in the Green Trails series of large format waterproof maps, centered on recreation areas rather than on 15 minute quadrangles.

The Enchantments is one of the most gorgeous places I have ever been. The approach hike is strenuous, but well worth the effort. When I die, I want my ashes scattered there.

This side also includes a street map of downtown Portland, the Pearl District, and northwest Portland. An inset shows trails in Hoyt Arboretum and Washington Park at 1:9000 scale.
