I got back from hiking on Oregon last night. I hiked somewhere between 60-70 miles over the past week and had a great time. These were the trails I hiked

Neahkahnie Mt
Cape Falcon
Forest Park in Portland
Top of Multonah Falls then about 1 mile towards Mt Larch
Mt St Helens Boundary trail near Johnston visitor center and about half of Coldwater Lake trail (Turned around when trail had steeper dropoffs than I cared to hike near)
Lake June, which turned out to be at the base of Mt St Helens
Angel's Rest
Bridal Veil Falls
Latourell Falls
A couple of miles of Pacific Crest Trail near Barlow Butte
Jefferson Park (turned around after a couple miles because of 5 ft of snow on the trail)
Pamelia Lake. I was going to hike to Grizzly Peak but found out the trail got flooded
A couple miles towards Browder Ridge then found more steep dropoffs
Cone Mt/Iron Mt
A few miles along the beach

Overall the weather was perfect, in the 70's and 80's most of the time with no rain. A couple hikes at higher elevations were a little chilly, but not bad.

I have a bunch of pictures from the hike that I will post in a few days on a thread in the photography section.

Thanks for the suggestions where to hike.

The books Snowy suggested were quite helpful.
