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.

The 2025 Sweat Science Summer Book List
　　According to Shakespeare, there are lessons and stories everywhere in nature—or, as he puts it, books in the running brooks, tongues in trees, and sermons in stones. I’m down with that idea. But in case the running brooks aren’t meeting your educational needs this summer, here are some suggestions for actual books to tuck into your backpack. (You can also...

Angler Beware, This Reel Is Almost Too Fast: Revo Rocket Review
　　I grew up pond hopping and kayak fishing with budget-friendly gear. I didn’t experience the advantage that high-quality rods and reels can give an angler until college. 　　While fishing in a collegiate tournament with a fellow student, I noticed how much farther and more accurately I could cast with his rods and reels. They were set up properly, and he’d...
For Tall Backpackers Who Go Ultralight: Six Moons Designs Skyscape Trekker Tent Review
　　As I trudged up the nearly 1,000-foot vertical trail leading to the top of the mountain I was camping on, I watched the sunset and the storm clouds building.

What Does Your Tacoma Say About You?
　　The other day, while getting groceries, I saw a well-loved first-generation Toyota Tacoma with a camper shell. Walking past it, I realized that even though I hadn’t seen the owner, I had them pegged. This was the type of Tacoma that a young person would drive all across the American West. I was confident there was a homemade wooden sleeping...

From Sidewalks to Switchbacks: On Cloudhorizon Waterproof Hiking Shoes Review
　　Im a recovering road runner. Over 2 decades ago, I caught the trail bug and havent looked back. But, recently, Ive been hiking a lot more than running, so I wasn’t sure what to expect when I laced up my first pair of hiking shoes from the Swiss brand On. 　　I’ve worn plenty of trail runners and hiking boots, but...
A Little Precision Goes a Long Way: MKM Knives DCA Pocket Tango 1 Review
　　The MKM Knives DCA Pocket Tango 1 is a small-form fixed blade that carries on your belt or in your pocket. The Nessmuk version of this knife has proven to be problematic for yours truly.

　　For years, weve known Stanley for its robust outdoor and everyday carry hydration.

Buy Now: Uncertainty Reigns as Brands Brace for Tariffs to Resume
　　In 2024, California-based High Camp Flasks was a small business with a ton of momentum, its co-founder Nicholas Barisone said.
