Book Reviews of Take a Hike Seattle: Hikes Within Two Hours of the City

Book Review: Take a Hike Seattle
Summary: 3 Stars

I've been using this book for a couple of years. I really like how it is organized and cross referenced. Also, the trip descriptions are very clear and easy to read. The reason I'm only giving it 3 stars is because of the large amount of typos spread through the driving directions. For example, in several places he tells the reader to "drive I-90 north to Everett" (I-90 doesn't GO to Everett) or he'll refer to the wrong exit or will describe the exit incorrectly. If you buy this book, just be sure to double check the driving directions elsewhere! And it would be nice if the author could provide errata for the book on his web site.

Summary of Take a Hike Seattle: Hikes Within Two Hours of the City

Beautiful lakes, sparkling bays, rugged peaks, lush hills, and countless islands comprise the outlying area of the bustling city of Seattle. Because there is such stunning scenery around the city, hiking in Seattle is more than a trek around town. Scott Leonard shows you the best hikes in and around Seattle. All hikes within the guide take less than two hours to reach by car, with details on public transportation options and clear directions on how to reach each trailhead.

Let Scott show you all the worthwhile hikes, from short, flat routes suitable for families to day-long, steep treks for more advanced hikes. Scott's Best Hike lists include: Best Easy Hikes, Best Hikes to Summits, Best Hikes with Kids, and more. Each hike profile contains practical information including point-by-point trail navigation, contact information, facilities, fees, parking instructions, and an easy-to-use map for each trail. From Olympic Peninsula across Pugel Sound, and to the Cascade Mountains, your trip begins with Moon Take a Hike Seattle.
