Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Now completely updated for a second edition, Backpacking Washington remains the only comprehensive guide to all of the Evergreen State's best extended backpacking trips. Ranging from three days to two weeks, these 28 adventures visit every corner of the state, including the wild beaches of the Olympic Peninsula, the vast interior of the Pasayten Wilderness, Mt. Rainier's famous Wonderland Trail, the volcanic wasteland around Mt. St. Helens, and the little-known Salmo-Priest Wilderness, where hikers may glimpse grizzly bears.

  • Three new backpacking outings--in the Olympic Mountains, Pasayten Wilderness, and Mt. St. Helens National Volcanic Monument--and 13 bonus hikes.
  • Sixteen pages of full-color photographs.
  • Descriptions of scenery, crowds, trail popularity, difficulty, mileage, elevation gain, length of trail, and shuttle distance provide all the information needed to plan the perfect backpacking trip.
  • Award-winning author/photographer Douglas Lorain supplies clear trip narratives as well as tips about creek crossings, water availability, worthwhile side trips, potential problems, and notes and comments about weather and terrain.


About the Author
Douglas Lorain's family moved to the Pacific Northwest in 1969,and he has been obsessively hitting the trails of his home region ever since. Over the years he calculates that he has logged well over 30,000 trail miles in this corner of the continent, and despite a history that includes being bitten by a rattlesnake, shot at by a hunter, charged by a grizzly bear, and donating countless gallons of blood to "invertebrate vampires," he happily sees no end in sight.

Lorain is a photographer and recipient of the National Outdoor Book Award. His books cover only the best trips from the thousands of hikes and backpacking trips he has taken throughout Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. His photographs have been featured in numerous magazines, calendars, and books, and his other guidebook titles include 100 Classic Hikes in Oregon, Afoot & Afield Portland/Vancouver, Backpacking Idaho, and Backpacking Oregon.
