This review is from: Wildflowers of Mount Rainier (Paperback)

One of the bounties of the Pacific Northwest is the succession of gorgeous wildflowers that line the simplest of mountain walks or hikes. This little book has enriched my experience of these hikes by providing a compact, effective way to name what I am looking at and learn a little about it. Distinctions between seemingly similar plants focus clearly, and I find myself in even more awe of the beauty around me.

This book is beautifully produced with clear photographs, good information, solid binding, and rounded dog-ear-proof corners. If you spend time in the mountains, treat yourself!
