This review is from: Hiking the Ancient Forests of British Columbia and Washington (Paperback)

This book has great pictures and maps of most of the trails it discusses, and for each trail, there is a description about the area it is in, how to get to it, and information about the hike along the way. Plus it mentions the status of the area, whether it is protected or not. All in all it's a great book for information about hiking in old growth and it should be a must have for anyone planning a trip to this area.
