About the Author
William L. Sullivan is the author of nine books about Oregon and writes an "Oregon Trails" column for Eugene's "Register-Guard". A fifth-generation Oregonian, Sullivan began hiking at tghe age of 5 and has been exploring new trails ever since. After receiving an English degree from Cornell University and studying at Germany's Heidelber University, he earned an M.A. from the University of Oregon.

In 1985 Sullivan set out to investigate Oregon's wilderness on a 1361-mile solo backpacking trek from the state's westernmost shore at Cape Blanco to Oregon's easternmost point in Hells Canyon. His journal of that two-month adventure, published as "Listening for Coyote," was a finalist for the Oregon Book Award in creative nonfiction. Since then he has authored "Hiking Oregon's History," "A Deeper Wild," and a series of 100 Hikes guidebooks.

He and his wife Janell live in Eugene, but spend summers in a log cabin they build by hand on a roadless portion of Oregon's remote Siletz River.
