Day Hiking, South Cascades: Mt. St. Helens / Mt. Adams / Columbia Gorge (Done in a Day) [Paperback]

Dan Nelson (Author)

Book Description

Series: Day Hiking | Publication Date: May 30, 2007

Introducing next-generation trail guides for the Northwest. We asked hikers what they want in a trail guide today and this is what they said: more day hikes, with options for extending the trip; hike selection conveniently arranged by highway and travel corridors; more hikes close to urban centers; more year-round hikes at low elevation; clear driving directions; a portable size; and more use of color.

To meet the needs of the modern hiker, The Mountaineers Books introduces its new Day Hiking guidebook series, written by Northwest residents with impressive hiking resumes. These guides provide accurate information in attractive, high-quality packaging and are infused with the environmental ethic that distinguishes The Mountaineers Books from other outdoor publishers.

Editorial Reviews

Review

A prolific team, with series titles on Mount Rainier and Snoqualmie Pass, Nelson and Bauer have assumed the mantle of Washington guidebook authors extraordinaire. Washington is where the 100-hikes genre began, so it's a weighty crown to wear. --Terry Richard, Oregon Live.com

This book is an excellent resource for many of the good day hikes in the area. As with all these types of books, the condition of any of the trails may change from when it was written, as well as the access. If possible, check with the Forest Service or plan a secondary hike in the case that your first choice isn't available.

My son continues to find new places to put our feet on the days we have to hike and this book has given him "new" places to discover!

I find the book to be a clear succinct reference which well prepares me for what to expect on the trail without overloading me with details.

This book was great. It includes a lot of information about hikes in the area. I like how it rates the difficulty and how there is a list at the front of the book that quickly shows some of the important information about the hikes.
