Thanks To Karen I Found....
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
A certain hike had been luring me for a couple years. I had an idea where the old trail was but once I read the book my eyes knew where to look once the snow melted. And there it was, well hidden at the start (long brushed out). Once I found it the trail was perfect the whole way. Since then I have used her book a number of times. Sure sometimes you lose the way, you go brush bashing but always it is a good time out. But as the years are passing the trails will disappear more so if you have had the desire, start finding them!

There are stacks of hiking books available for Western Washington, and some are even touted as "hidden" hikes (they aren't) but Karen Sykes has written the real thing. These are hikes that for whatever reason don't attract the hordes that commonly hike the most common trails. Many of them are "secondary" hikes that either don't have the splashy payoff commonly associated with the most popular hikes; but many more hikes are special by virtue of their history or their charm. These are hikes for those who miss the adventure of trying the unknown. And because Sykes is safely conservative in her recommendations, the reader can feel assured that the conditions will be no worse than expected. For armchair hikers, the book makes good reading.
