Oregon seems about 20 years behind on hiking technology in general. Very few GPS tracks, almost no recent trip reports or trail conditions reports.
You do have http://www.oregonhikers.org/, which is a lot more than most other places have... OpenStreetMap seems to have decent coverage for the more populated parts of Oregon. For the rest, you can fix it yourself :-)

you are lucky to find a vague and poorly written trip report for 99% of the hikes within Central Oregon that are less than 2 or 3 or more years old. Usually those are useless due to changes caused by forest fires. I am working on building my own library. It is just a very slow process. "Other places"? I suppose it is better than Iowa or maybe Florida? agree.gif Actually, the mtn bike maps are the best resources, on the mixed use trails anyway.
