Hi Everyone,
I am relatively new to hiking. I tend not to have this as the first thing I tell people but it is kinda the point of the post. I currently have an LVAD (heart pump) implanted and I am also on the heart transplant list awaiting the magical call. Does anyone know of any hikes that have good cell reception? I have AT&T. I have only been hiking for a short while but do not want to stop. Any suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks.
p.s. I should have mentioned that within an hour or so from Salem would be great.

Thanks Jerry, that is helpful. Looks like there are few different hikes in the same area.

Re: Hello...new hiker here.
You might be interested in Take a Walk Portland. You can get the book or ebook from Multnomah County Library https://multcolib.bibliocommons.com/ite ... 3440179068
It's full of trails and paths almost all within the city and surrounding suburbs. The primary focus is more "nature walks" than what you may think of as hiking, though there's a good variety. If what you're after is exercise and nature without overstraining yourself or traveling too far from the city, that might a good one to take a look at.

Thank you...this is helpful. It makes sense that a lot of folks would want Portland hikes. I however live in Salem but I am more than happy to make the trek up.
