This review is from: Day Hike!: Olympic Peninsula, 2nd Edition: The Best Trails You Can Hike in a Day (Paperback)
Checked out several day hiking books on Olympic National Park from the library and I liked this one the best (also liked the Mt. Rainier one too). I thought that the rating scales, length, difficulty, locations within the park, etc. were all great. Moreover, the author's sense of humor was good too. I would recommend.
