From the Publisher
Two of the back cover comments are; This book makes you want to saddle up, pack the camp gear and trail ride. You never know enough about trail riding opportunities, horse camps or trailheads and Trail Riding and Pack Trips in Washington adds a new dimension said renowned author and wilderness outfitter Smoke Elser. Also, Joel C. Hardin, expert tracker and retired U.S. Border Patrol Special Agent, stated that map and compass skills, like knowing how to handle your horse or set up a good camp, are two more ways to enjoy going into the back-country with confidence. This book helps you develop those skills.
