This is not your typical hiking guide. In addition to providing you with all the information you need to navigate the trails, this book focuses on the inspiring beauty to be found on these extraordinary footpaths around Mt. Baker (and the surrounding area). Lavishly illustrated with almost 200 beautiful photographs (and detailed small-scale topographic maps), each hike is presented with an eye toward the exceptional scenic splendor of these carefully selected destinations, allowing you to maximize your aesthetic experience in these glorious mountains.
More than a book to tell you how to get to these spectacular destinations, this book tells you why to go.
--------
More than five years in the writing (and 40 years of hiking), Hiking Mt. Baker & the North Cascades is the definitive guide for hikers (and walkers) who want to maximize their aesthetic experience in these beautiful mountains located in northern Washington.
Each trail is described both in terms of practical considerations and logistics and with an eye toward helping hikers discover the wild splendor that makes these mountains among the world’s most spectacular hiking destinations. Specific information regarding scenic viewpoints, wildflower gardens, glaciers, alpine lakes and tarns, waterfalls, autumn color hotspots, unique flora and fauna, dramatic geological features, and opportunities for solitude are all highlighted in the hike descriptions.
These trails range from short walks (and ADA accessible paths) to rigorous multi-day backpacking excursions, intentionally chosen to make exploring these beautiful mountains possible for everyone. Seasonal considerations are also highlighted, with some hikes selected for their early season melt-out (these mountains get a lot of snow in winter!) and others highlighted for their autumnal delights.
More than a book to tell you how to get to these spectacular destinations, this book tells you why to go.
