Hiking--- Willamete Valley

Hi! I love the outdoors but have never really done any hiking and would really enjoy it. I mean, I have 'hiked' on paved trails but wanted to know how I would get into hiking on more 'wild' paths. More out in the wilderness, with a backpack for hours and hours..... Does anyone have any information/knowledge on something like that?
I know I can just drive out to the wild and throw myself into the nature, but I really don't want to get lost and die :ohwell:

If you're visiting the forest for hiking, there's a website that lists the trails and basic information about them: http://www.fs.usda.gov/activity/willamette/recreation/hiking.
You can also call the Forest Service and ask questions about beginner hikes and how to prepare for them. Try the local library too - there's probably a section of books for local hiking and often the employees can help point you to some online references too.
Good luck!0 -
Thank you!! I will definitely check out the website and call
