A fifth-generation Oregonian, Bill Sullivan has long been known for his knowledge of Oregon's wilderness trails. In the 1980s, Bill wrote two books with the help of Oregon Wild (then ONRC) – Listening for Coyote, an adventure narrative of a 1,000-mile hike he proposed to undertake across Oregon and Exploring Oregon's Wild Areas, a nuts-and-bolts guidebook to designated and undesignated wilderness lands in the state. Bill is the author of the popular 100 Hikes book series and is well known across the state for his expertise on Oregon hiking. More information about Bill can be found at www.oregonhiking.com.

Bill's Excellent Adventures is a periodic installment highlighting an outdoor trip in Oregon that directly relates to Oregon Wild's current campaigns to protect our state's wildlands, wildlife, and waters.
