AshlandTrails.com The Book

The website www.AshlandTrails.com has slowly amassed the most comprehensive collection of local trails in Jackson County. From Union Creek to Grants Pass to Mount Ashland to the PCT - all one hundred and eleven (111) trails have been complied into one location.



The revolutionary layout of this book uses QR codes so that readers can use their smart phones to access maps, videos, or the AshlandTrails.com website for complementary information. The regular trail guide information - elevations, maps, difficulty, distances - is all there in the book however, the connectivity to the internet is... game changing? Groundbreaking? The Future?



The book does stand on it's own as a funny, conversational trail guide. As the introduction explains,



"This book is like taking a hike with an old friend from high school. The goal is to find fun things, get back to the car without getting lost, and have some great stories to tell at work the next day. Other books are fine, but it's more like hiking with your old college instructor. Lots more information than you need while they're trying to remind you that they have an English degree."
