Hiking in spring and early summer is a treasure hunt of color as wildflowers bloom in the meadows and mountains of Oregon, typically at their peak in May and early June. Look for blossoms on these trails and others around the state. While these flowers may be tempting for a spring bouquet, keep in mind that they are for your viewing enjoyment only — it is illegal to pick wildflowers growing on public land in Oregon.

Hiking is a personal thing. Communing with nature and testing out personal limits is why so many of us venture into the out-of-doors. But one person’s day hike can be another’s Mount Everest. So cinch those boots on tight - these 10 trails maybe some of the reasons many people stick to walking in the park.
