Book Description
At 4,097 feet Marys Peak towers over other mountains in the Oregon Coast Range. Dr. Robert J. Lillie draws on his experience as a geology professor, graphic illustrator and park ranger to tell the geological story of Marys Peak and its connections to Oregon's natural and cultural history. The book's vivid photographs and easy-to-follow illustrations allow the reader to imagine geological forces in action during a drive up the peak and short walk to its summit. From volcanic eruptions on an ancient seafloor, to powerful forces between tectonic plates, to the durability of hard intrusive rock, a journey up Marys Peak is truly like visiting an "Island in the Sky."

Book Description
Smith Rock State Park. It was on the impressive crags of this Oregon hideaway that American sport climbing came into its own, and to this day, some of the hardest climbs in the United States are found on these walls. Alan Watts, who has played a leading role in the development of this popular rock-climbing destination, details more than 2,200 routes at Smith Rock and the surrounding area. This new edition updates hundreds of routes and has new photos of the many crags, walls, and routes. No other guide is as comprehensive or thorough, and no author more respected for his intimate knowledge of one of the world’s most popular climbing destinations.
