If you love Washington and love to hike...,
By Milo (Glacier, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Foghorn Outdoors Washington Hiking: The Complete Guide to More Than 400 Hikes (Paperback)
You need to get this book. It's indispensable in helping you choose what to hike, what to bring, what to leave at home, and what to expect when you get there (especially the little annoying hidden things, like parking fees). Seeing the maps of the hiking trails helped me a lot too. I hope you get this book before you go hiking because you might regret it if you don't.

What it lacks in maps and illustrations it makes up for in information,
By Erik C Jackson (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Foghorn Outdoors Washington Hiking: The Complete Guide to More Than 400 Hikes (Paperback)
While I would like to see a quick map of where I am considering hiking, it's nice to have a thorough guide for the whole state in one book.
