I have the first edition of this book and it has been an invaluable guide to the incredible hiking in the Northwest. Living in the east and only getting to the west when business or a vacation take me there (for relatively short periods of time) I've always tried to make the most of the time I did have to hike. I have done about 1/3 of the hikes in the book and have yet to be disappointed. I have other, more detailed, hiking books for these areas but I rely on this one for selecting my hikes. I just wish this type of book were available for other areas of the country.

This is a good and very general guide book for things to do in the Pacific Northwest. Its got some good information on the more famous locations (Columbia River, Mt Rainier, Mt St Helens....etc) but if you are planning on doing more in dept things, this book is not for you. Perhaps this book is more appropriate for people who are going to be in the area for a relatively short period of time and just want to hit the highlights.

The hikes cover some of the best hiking over a large area.

it encompasses the hikes that every avid hiker must do before or during death.
