Welcome to AdamSawyer.com. I am a writer/photographer living in Portland, Oregon. When I moved to the area I was an Information Technology specialist with a well-paying job. The job was also soul-crushing. In an attempt to spend more time with my family and enjoy my livelihood, I quit the office job with the intent of somehow making a living at enjoying the great outdoors. Now I work as a “Resident Expert”, or tour guide for Portland Walking Tours and serve as a moderator for the popular hiking resource Portlandhikers.org. In addition to freelance travel writing, I pen articles as the Portland Hiking Examiner for Examiner.com as well as the bi-weekly column Portland Family Outdoors for Craigmore Creations. I co-hosted the KEEN HybridLife Radio Show for its duration, and now serve as an ambassador for the company. The paychecks might be smaller, but we’ve never been happier.
My objective is to share through words and images, a unique perspective on my favorite places in the Pacific Northwest and beyond.
All of my published writings and photos will be posted on this site, as well as direct links to online works.

Have you been to the Cape Horn Trail yet? I went yesterday. Nice hike. Part of it is closed until July for peregrine falcon nesting season. Damn peregrine falcons always getting in my way. Someone spent a pretty penny on the Nancy Russell Overlook on the trail. Usually an overlook means a good view and don’t step too close to the edge, but this overlook has a full on stone structure.

Hey Ross, how have you been? The Cape Horn trail is a gem! I had the privilege of re-routing some of the upper trail 2 years ago with the Trails Skills College. Before that is was essentially a volunteer maintained boot path. You should definitely come back when the lower trail is open. It makes for a great loop!
