About the author

Harvey Manning was a noted author of hiking guides and climbing textbooks, and a tireless hiking advocate. Manning lived on Cougar Mountain, within the city limits of Bellevue, Washington, calling his home the "200 meter hut". His book Walking the Beach to Bellingham is an autobiography and manifesto fleshing out his journal of a hike along the shore of Puget Sound over a two year span.

[Sheri Fresonke Harper · Rating 5 out of 5]

Besides providing many, many different options for finding a good hike in the Puget Sound area, this book provides background information about how to be safe on hikes (what supplies to bring), and explanation of beach rights, and care of the environment. All individual walk descriptions explain the length (in miles), how to get to the walk site (and park if needed), and elevation gains. Walks include beaches, forest trails, within and around parks, and even greenbelts. In the Puget Sound there is little excuse to not take a walk. Visitors may use this book to find some unusual experiences to the normal tourist agenda.
