Welcome
to
Omar's Collection of
Hiking Snapshots
These snapshots were taken on hikes in the U.S. Pacific Northwest.
Most of them are within a 200-mile radius from Portland, Oregon
This year's hikes are
arranged by date, with the latest at the top. Earlier hikes are arranged
alphabetically (or will be).
For
other hiking information and photos, try one of the following links:
| Due
to an injury mid-July 2007, Omar's hiking was interrupted for about a year.
That's why there are only a few hikes (or outings) listed for 2008.
