Steep Trails by John Muir

This old book by the founder of the Sierra Club is an amazing description of his hiking all through the west, Yosemite to Victoria. Of greatest interest are his hiking in Oregon, his climbing Shasta and Rainier, and his descriptions of Portland and Puget Sound. His forest descriptions are great and his fortitude on cold climbs is amazing.
