This book contains great information about the Wonderland Trail, particularly hiking side trips.

I felt Lorain’s writing was a bit too personal at times and the trail descriptions were too detailed. The book describes each section of the trail in minute detail. Following it while hiking would make me focus on going the right direction and finding the author’s landmarks rather than enjoying the general beauty of Mount Rainier.

Relive--Or Anticipate--The Wonderland Trail

Excellent guide for preparing to hike the trail. My wife and I finished it in September of 2017 and it was a great way to relive our experience.

A comprehensive guide to the Wonderland Trail. I appreciate the detailed information on side trips. Oftentimes guidebooks fail to enough detail on side trips leading the hiker or climber guessing. Doug Lorain did a fine job in this area.
