Backpacking Washington 2nd Ed.

Get ready to embark on an adventure into the pristine wilderness of Washington with guidebook author Craig Romano! Backpacking Washington, second edition, is your go-to guide for discovering 80 amazing backpacking routes. From the lush Hoh River Valley to breathtaking vistas in the North Cascades to the open ridges of the Columbia Highlands and beyond, you'll be amazed by the jaw-dropping landscapes that Washington has to offer.

Our guidebook emphasizes weekend trips but also includes routes ranging from overnights to weeklong treks, complete with suggested campsites and options for extending your trip. Detailed route descriptions, up-to-date maps, mileage logs, and all-new photographs make it easy for you to plan your adventure.

We've also designated 1 percent of the sales of this guidebook to the Washington Trails Association (WTA) to support their essential work in maintaining trails throughout Washington. With more than 750 work parties each year, WTA's volunteers help to clear downed logs, cut away brush, and build bridges and turnpikes. So not only will you be exploring Washington's wilderness, but you'll also be supporting its preservation.
