3.0 out of 5 stars Great survey of parks, but not a source for winter hikes., May 3, 2006

I give this book 3 stars because it *is* a good book - just not really for winter hiking. It is filled with short - usually 3 miles or less - walks around the Seattle area. It is more or less a survey of Seattle-area parks. I enjoyed Harvey Manning's opinionated writing style as usual, but it's not the same fare as their usual 100 Hikes books.

In summary - if you're looking to enjoy Puget Sound parks - in any season - this is a great book. If you're looking for real winter hikes that involve packing a backpack, lunch, and getting in a good trek in the woods away from people - look elsewhere.

Good book but spare me Harvey Mannings ranting about Seattle and loggers. HM is more responsible for people hiking in this area than anyone - then he complains about it. Give me a break. I know he is decesed, so I guess I should not say bad things about his writing. . . but..
