This review is from: Best Old-Growth Forest Hikes: Washington and Oregon Cascades, (Best Hikes) (Paperback)
Only had a week to visit Washington State, and made the absolute best hiking choices using this great book! Information was right on about where, when and how. Avoided crowds and saw some of the most fabulous forests left in the NW lower 48.
