Product Description

Introducing next-generation trail guides for the Northwest. We asked hikers what they want in a trail guide today and this is what they said: more day hikes, with options for extending the trip; hike selection conveniently arranged by highway and travel corridors; more hikes close to urban centers; more year-round hikes at low elevation; clear driving directions; a portable size; and more use of color.

To meet the needs of the modern hiker, The Mountaineers Books introduces its new Day Hiking guidebook series, written by Northwest residents with impressive hiking resumes. These guides provide accurate information in attractive, high-quality packaging and are infused with the environmental ethic that distinguishes The Mountaineers Books from other outdoor publishers.

Customer Reviews

Day Hiking in the South Cascades
I find the book to be a clear succinct reference which well prepares me for what to expect on the trail without overloading me with details.

Great book for the known day hikes
This book is an excellent resource for many of the good day hikes in the area. As with all these types of books, the condition of any of the trails may change from when it was written, as well as the access. If possible, check with the Forest Service or plan a secondary hike in the case that your first choice isn't available.

My son continues to find new places to put our feet on the days we have to hike and this book has given him "new" places to discover!
