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 8 Best Instant Coffees for Backcountry Adventurers
　　Thanks to instant coffee, which has been commercially available since the late 1930s, saving weight in the backcountry and still getting zooted on caffeine is not new. When I started raft guiding a century ago in the late ’90s, we used to mix up heaping spoonfuls of Folgers with General Foods International Coffees Suisse Mocha and Orange Cappuccino powders to...
Are Rain Skirts Officially High Fashion? These Top Designers Seem to Think So.
　　With the exception of Scotsmen in kilts, skirts tend to stoke controversy in the outdoors. The first women mountaineers—like Henriette d’Angeville, who, in 1838, became the second woman to ever successfully climb Mount Blanc—didn’t have much of a choice but to hike in a skirt or dress, given the gendered fashion norms of the nineteenth century. But in the 1900s,...
The Unexpected Luxury That’s Changing How to Camp in the Heat

Now I’m a mom of two under two, so the theme of this year’s Mother’s Day gift guide is convenience and versatility. With a 23-month-old and a 7-month-old crawling all over me at any given moment, I...
You Don’t Have to Build Your Own Sleeping Platform to Camp In your Car
　　I remember the first time I saw someone sleeping in their vehicle for fun. It was 1999. I was in Vail, and I hit a parking lot après party with a dude who was sleeping in his Ford Ranger pickup. He had built a plywood sleeping platform with all of his ski gear stored beneath, allowing him to camp out...
Make It a Camping Summer
　　Summer is right around the corner, so here are two ways to ensure it’s the best one yet. 　　1. Kick off summer with the 2025 Outside Festival, May 31 and June 1 in Denver, Colorado. The event blends music, film, keynote speakers, outdoor brands, and great food in the ultimate celebration of adventure. Last year’s inaugural event drew nearly 20,000...
Watch: Our Favorite Rig From Overland Expo West 2025
　　Overland Expo West is always full of amazing adventure rigs, and this year the buzz was around electric vehicles. This was the first time we saw not just one, but two fully-electric trailers. It was exciting to see brands take the technology that’s been proven in electric cars and find clever ways to bring it into overlanding, and the RD...
These Are the Best Bike Racks on the Market

These 7 Outdoor Organizations Have the Best Merch in the Biz
　　If youve ever seen complete strangers exchange a joyous shout and fist-pump over a shared team jersey, you know the power of good merch. When you wear something representing an organization you care about, youre immediately part of a special club. That sense of membership can be key to feeling a sense of community and belonging. Of course, not all...
Yeti’s New Hondo Beach Chair Tested and Reviewed 
　　I, like many, feverishly guard my Yeti gear. My water bottle cabinet is stacked with Ramblers and my garage has four different-sized coolers neatly stacked and waiting for my family’s next adventure. The cooler and drinkware brand’s stuff is so good that it’s found a permanent place in my rather large but ever-rotating gear collection that’s fed by my job...
