Great little book... April 28, 2008
I say little, only because the book won't take up much space in your pack. It includes a lot of hikes and a lot of information, nonetheless. I really like the Day Hiking series, and have used it to find some great new (to me) hiking trails. One of my only complaints about the Mt. Rainier hiking guide is that the publishers printed a new map for every hike in the book, even though two trails might have beens side-by-side, without even overlapping, and trail B might be visible in the map for trail A, and vice-versa. It's slightly annoying, because it makes it harder to gain a sense for where the trails are in comparison to each other. This hit a head at the trails out of the Paradise area, where at least five trails overlapped. While five trails on one map could have gotten confusing, a happy compromise of two maps with a few trails each would have saved spaced, and shown the proper relationship between the trails. I also had a problem with a few trails where hike A might be to travel five miles along one trail, and hike B might be to travel ten miles along the same trail. That's not two different hikes; that's just turning around sooner or later (and summarized in an 'extending your trip' box for most of the other hikes). The Day Hiking North Cascades book presented it's trails in a much neater fashion, by clearly indicating overlapping or nearby trails on the same map, without exaggerating the number of hikes included.
