5.0 out of 5 stars
Great help for spur-of-the-moment walkers,
By
This review is from: Best Easy Day Hikes Olympics (Paperback)
We had little or no time to plan our short trip to the Olympic Peninsula, but we knew that the area is best enjoyed by walking into the forests, the mountains, or the beaches. This book includes descriptions of 29 hikes that do not require overnight stays, organized geographically. While there is no single map pointing out the locations of all the hikes, each geographical section has one, so it is not too difficult to find something nearby. There is also an ordered list of the hikes, from easiest (the .2 mile Madison Creek Falls hike, with minimal elevation gain) to most difficult (the Mount Zion hike, 3.5 miles with a 1340 foot gain). We took six of the hikes listed and found the descriptions to be accurate. It was well worth the (relatively low) price.

4.0 out of 5 stars
A good guide for,
By Sarah Kirkconnell "Author of Freezer Bag Cook... (Maple Valley, Wa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Best Easy Day Hikes Olympics (Paperback)
those starting to hike or who want ideas of where to go. Having done all but 3 of the hikes in this book,I would recomend it. Erik gives clear directions and his rating system of easy to hard is very accurate. The book is pocket size and weighs little, with good refernces on time, maps and seasons. His North Cascade Dayhike book is also helpful to daytrippers.

not a bad little book,
This review is from: Best Easy Day Hikes Olympics (Paperback)
This wasn't a bad little book, it was just eclipsed by the other book I bought, "Day Hike! Olympic Peninsula: The Best Trails You can Hike in a Day".Both books were purchased 5/2007
