A great guide book for the traveler who is come rely clueless about backpacking in Washington. The author gives detailed descriptions and enough information about trailhead sand distances that I felt very comfortable with my family of four including an 8 year old. Shi Shi beach and Enchanted Valley are beautiful hikes and camping spots.

Craig Romano, who writes the best hiking guides for Washington, has done it again. In a departure from his "Day Hiking" series, this book features longer multi-day hikes to some of the most beautiful and seldom visited destinations in the state. As usual, his directions & descriptions are well researched and spot on.

Just purchased this book today to help with more trip planning. I have been waiting for so long for a fantastic book of longer backpacking routes in WA and this book delivers. It is so well organized and gives all the information that I feel is vital to making a decision about what trips to take.
