With 126 handpicked trails, this is the most accurate and comprehensive guide to one of the state’s most beloved outdoor playgrounds.
Whether you’re chasing waterfalls, wildflowers, or wide-open views, this guide ensures you’ll get the most out of every mile!

With hikes to rugged alpine peaks, lush river valleys, and the wild Pacific coast, Day Hiking Olympic Peninsula, 3rd Edition, is the essential guide for exploring one of Washington’s most iconic regions. Featuring 136 hikes--including 10 all-new routes--this completely revised edition is packed with accurate, boots-on-the-ground research.
