Remember, MANY trails & roads have been damaged by our winter storms. Many trails in the books are inaccessible - use the above links to check conditions, and don't hesitate to CALL THE RANGER STATION before deciding what hike to pursue! It's a bummer to get all the way there and discover you have to ford a raging river or turn back because a bridge is out!

Great New Books this Season!



As you know, I'm a hiking book junkie. Here is a great new series that the Mountaineers Press just put out. I have been thumbing through these constantly lately, looking for day hike ideas along Hwy 2 and the Mountain Loop Hwy.

To purchase, go to The Mountaineers Books site. You can also find them at REI. I happened to see one at Cascadia Farms on my way back home from Hwy 20.

Also great is the classic "100 hikes" series put out by the Mountaineers. For instance, I often use the book 100 Hikes in the Glacier Peak Region
