I used this to help guide our 5 day trip to this park. Excellent resource, easy to read, easy to implement....a great choice if you're headed to Olympic for the first time!

The 'Best Easy Day Hikes' series by Falcon Guides has quite a few in it. All of them showcase the "best" (and easier) hikes in a particular National Park.

I have found over the years that if visiting a park for the first time get one of the "Best" guides. You won't overwhelmed by the choices in the bigger book Falcon makes as well.

The one for the Olympic National Park is thin but will give plenty of choices. It is a choice I suggest often to non-hikers that want to go experience the Olympics. It gives a good choice from Coastal to rain forest to the river valleys to the high mountains. It can help you plan a whirl wind trip of what to see if you have only 1 or 2 days as well.

I found this book very informitive and even exciting. I am from Calif. most of my life. ( except for the last 10 yrs.) I am 66 and it's really nice to know that there are trails that even I can manage. For next year I am planing to take several trips to the Olympic Mountains. Writing reviews is not my cup of tea so please forgive the shortness of this review.

Thank you very much Art

Provides accurate descriptions of hikes in Olympic National Park, together with good direction to the trail heads.
