Highlights of the book include detailed route descriptions for 40 day hikes, mile by mile maps, directions for reaching the start and end points of each hike, navigational logisitcs, and the history and personalities that made this jewel possible.

Portland author, Connie Soper, has hiked the entire OCT twice and has conducted extensive research to produce her book.  Soper hopes it will inspire people to explore this beautiful natural resource.
