Miles of hiking trails surround the more than 600 glacier-carved lakes tucked among the craggy peaks of the central Cascade Range that are the centerpiece of this magnificent wilderness. Alpine Lakes has been called Washington's "Backyard Wilderness" because it is within an hour's drive of half the state's population and outdoor recreation opportunities abound.

Falcon Guide books always good,
By Ry D. Bike "Scout" (Portland, OR USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hiking Washington's Alpine Lakes Wilderness: Day Hikes and Easy Overnights (Paperback)
I own a lot of Falcon Guide books. They are excellent. I tear out the pages for the hike I'm about to go on, follow the directions, read about the history or flora or fauna during lunch, then put the pages back in the book when I get home.
