Seattle is home to a wealth of fabulous hikes, and 60 Hikes within 60 Miles: Seattle shows you the best of the best. There are few places anywhere that can match the varied landscape of Western Washington, and 60 Hikes within 60 Miles: Seattle is the perfect guide to it all. From the heights of the Cascade Range to the shores of Puget Sound, local hikes explore ancient trees, thundering waterfalls, towering peaks, and ice-clad volcanoes, some of the most enduring symbols of the region. But 60 Hikes within 60 Miles: Seattle also leads to many lesser-known but equally accessible and spectacular destinations, including high bluffs and tide pools along the Pacific, abandoned mines and railways that explore Washington's rich pioneer history, and even stands of old-growth forest well inside the Seattle city limits. From short walks in neighborhood parks to epic mountain treks, 60 Hikes within 60 Miles: Seattle has something for everyone, on some of the best trails the Pacific Northwest has to offer.

This review is from: 60 Hikes Within 60 Miles: Seattle: Including Bellevue, Everett, and Tacoma (Paperback)
This well structured hiking book fills a gap in the suite of similar books that cover the Olympics and the Cascades in Western Washington. This volume does a good job identifying interesting hikes close to the metropolitan Puget Sound Basin--the title says it all. The book also adds features that many other hiking books lack, most notably good hike maps and hike profiles. You can do all the hikes in this book without supplemental maps.

useful and informative,
By
This review is from: 60 Hikes Within 60 Miles: Seattle: Including Bellevue, Everett, and Tacoma (Paperback)
Even if you already own a Seattle hiking guide, this book is worth purchasing. It includes many often-overlooked hikes and trail-runs that involve minimal driving time. Each hike has an informational box with pertinent facts e.g. distance, difficulty, terrain, so that browsing for what you want is remarkably easy. Unlike other local guidebooks, the maps include markers that correspond to salient features in the trail descriptions, making them infinitely more useful. The descriptions themselves are well written, precise, and include interesting historical facts. Plus, as the book is brand-new, the trail information is all up to date.

Great for hiking trails close to the city,
This review is from: 60 Hikes Within 60 Miles: Seattle: Including Bellevue, Everett, and Tacoma (Paperback)
This book has a bunch of really good hikes right near Seattle and the Eastside which is what sets it apart from others I have seen (although it also has some farther out in the mountains). There are a lot of great options if you don't feel like driving too far. Really good if you have kids, or if you want some hard and some easy hikes. The book says it has 40 hikes available year-round, which is great in the winter months. Definitely recommended.
