This review is from: 55 Hikes in Central Washington (Paperback)

We've been exploring this area for 20 yrs, but this book has led us to some new places. Directions and descriptions are very good. So far, Dusty Lake is my favorite- see it online.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best guides put out in a series by the Mountaineers, August 29, 2007

This review is from: 55 Hikes in Central Washington (Paperback)

This is an invaluable guide to discovering the region of Central Washington State-filled with maps, photographs, and historical lore, including information on geology, natural wonders, and the trails themselves, presented in detail and with mileage and elevations.
Central Washington is a vast, rocky, and dry steppe; a relatively uninhabited area in which the region's prehistory is readily apparent. Hikers will find the sun and varied landscape, holding a surprise of grasslands, mountains, caves, and ancient dry rivers, as well as a rich collection of plants, birds, and animals.

Some of my favourite hikes:
Swale Canyon-moderate
Dalles Mountain Ranch-moderate
Tucannon River-moderate
Hardy Canyon-moderate
Crab Creek Trails-moderate
