Finally, there's a hiking book not written by some scruffy guy with a beard but rather by a professional graphic designer.
Lisa D. Holmes of Portland is first an artist, then a hiker. Her book, "I Heart Oregon (& Washington): 25 of the Portland Area's Best Hikes,'' shows off her considerable design talents.
“
”Terry Richard THE OREGONIAN
A Different Kind of Hiking Guide… The maps are the real selling point of the book. Each was hand-designed by Holmes to showcase topography, marked trails, distance, elevation and trail highlights.
“
”Washington Trails (July-Aug. 2014)
Hiking Book Combines Research with Great Design… You couldn’t ask for better pre-hike research. For each trail, it looks like Holmes ripped out and annotated the most relevant sections of a USGS topo map, collected the best professional photos of the area, and stitched everything together in a stunning collage.
