For more than a century fire lookouts have played a vital role in the detection of wildfires. While many of those lookouts have disappeared, some of those that remain offer unique hiking destinations with stunning views and fascinating history. In this one-hour presentation, author Cheryl Hill will talk about her new book Hiking Oregon’s Fire Lookouts, highlight some of the most rewarding lookout hikes, share stories from her journey to visit every standing lookout in the state, and explain how to rent a lookout. A Q&A session will follow the presentation.
Free. First come, first seated. This event is supported by the Friends of the Salem Library.
Durante más de un siglo, las torres de vigilancia contra incendios han tenido un papel fundamental en la detección de incendios forestales. Si bien muchos de estas torres han desaparecido, algunas de las que aún se conservan ofrecen destinos de senderismo únicos con vistas impresionantes y una historia fascinante. En esta presentación de una hora, Cheryl Hill hablará de su nuevo libro "Hiking Oregon's Fire Lookouts," destacará algunas de las excursiones más gratificantes de las torres, compartirá historias de su recorrido para visitar todas las actuales torres de vigilancia contra incendios del estado y explicará cómo alquilar una. Después de la presentación, habrá una sesión de preguntas y respuestas.
Gratis. Por orden de llegada. Este evento cuenta con el apoyo de los Amigos de la Biblioteca de Salem.
