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.

Fight Fire With Sound: Sonic Tech Could Protect Homes From Wildfires
　　Wildfires destroy thousands of homes in the U.S. every year. According to the National Interagency Coordination Center (NICC), in 2022 alone, these outdoor blazes destroyed 1,261 residences nationwide. As this trend continues to increase, more homes are at risk, and firefighting technologies are evolving to keep pace. 　　Sonic Fire Tech is exactly such a system. This futuristic home fire defense...
Move Faster, Transition Quicker, Adventure Longer: Dynafit TLT X Review
　　The moment it became clear was halfway up Teton Pass’s Taylor Mountain at sunrise. I was skinning in that quiet blue hour, expecting the usual ultralight-boot experience: a cramped toe box, midfoot pressure, and the slightly awkward stride I’ve learned to endure on big climbs. Instead, the TLT X moved with me. My stride felt almost too smooth for a...
A Look Inside Rejuvenated Toyota Arizona Proving Grounds
　　Turn right here and then feel free to get up to 50 mph. That’s what Toyota Senior Engineering Manager Jakin Wilson said to me as I pilot a Tacoma Trailhunter through a lumpy dirt trail, replete with sudden peaks and troughs, terrain changes, and sweeping bends. 　　I gleefully rocketed up to 55 mph, maxed out the suspension travel, and worked...
There Is Only One Women-Owned Heli-Ski Outfit in America — And They’re Family
　　Mandi Blewett had been operating an angling lodge on British Columbias Dean River for a decade when the flood came. In 2010, record rains deluged the region, and the river spilled over its banks. The torrent was so violent that it altered the course of the river, which slithered toward their home and business. 　　It was running right in front...
Making Knee Pads a Must-Have: FORLOH Women’s BTM Pro Pant
　　Sometimes you don’t even know what you’ve been missing out on until you try out something new, as is the case in this reviewer’s experience with the FORLOH Womens BTM Pro Pants’ knee pads. We’ll talk about a lot of the fit and function of these brush pants, but no aspect stands above the knee pad. 　　My spouse and I...
Tech-Heavy, Compact, and Inexpensive: Coast FL97R Headlamp Review
　　As I shivered in the predawn darkness, the need for a caffeine hit was overwhelming. I was groggy and tired from back-to-back days of whitetail hunting, and prime time was fast approaching. My head wasnt in the game, and it needed to be. 　　Twenty feet in the air, I shifted in my tree saddle and started digging through my pack,...
Swiss Army Roller Bag: Victorinox Mythic Frequent Flyer Carry-On Business Review
　　A roomy and tough carry-on bag is the only surefire way to prevent an airline from losing your luggage and sending your trip into a tailspin. As one of those weirdos like me who refuse to travel with checked luggage, I was intrigued by Victorinox’s Mythic Frequent Flyer Carry-On Business ($543). 　　Like the multitools that Victorinox is known for, there’s...
Tailgate Debates: Hunters’ Perspectives
　　Presented by Ram Trucks 　　 　　In my hunting crew, we have a varied set of individuals who come from different backgrounds with wildly different experiences. We have friends who spend all year hunting, and others who do more fishing than hunting, but they also go out on annual big game trips. 　　Despite their differences, they have core commonalities: they are...
Alarm Spreads Over Amendment That Could Remove Park Protections
　　A new attempt to safeguard national parks from losing federal protection and oversight is at risk of failure. Utah Sen. Mike Lee (R) —who proposed the sale of up to 3 million acres of public land this summer — introduced an amendment this week that would strip language from an appropriations bill that specifically outlines federal protections of all national...
Engineered for Detours: Toyota Trucks Challenge Shows How Adventure Shapes Athletes
　　Play Detours defined this adventure-filled competition, whether teams ripped into first place or grinned their way into dead last. In the finale of Toyotas Destination Detour, the challenges heat up between Team 4Runner, Team Tacoma, and Team Land Cruiser. Each team ticked their checklists left and right as they raced to the 5 oclock deadline — and the $10,000 prize....
Wolves to Lose Federal Protections in Bill Passed by House
　　Efforts to protect Americas gray wolf population have sparked debate for years — and soon those plans may face another obstacle. On Dec. 18, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill that would remove the gray wolf from the Endangered Species list. 　　If passed by the Senate and signed into law, H.R. 845, the Pet and Livestock Protection Act,...
Mercedes-Benz Creates a Massive Luxury Unimog Pickup
　　Mercedes-Benz might have just figured out the only way to one-up the G-Wagen. If you want to outdo your army truck off-roader that has transformed into a $200,000 luxury statement, the only way to go is more. 　　Enter the most luxurious Unimog ever created. To mark 80 years of the truck that was half tractor and ultimate workhorse, Mercedes-Benz Special...
