Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Packable size filled with maps, elevation profiles, 130 photos, at-a-glance trail selection table, and more from a beloved trails author 1% of sales support trail maintenance in Washington As a hiking destination, the San Juan Islands of Washington and their sister islands to the north offer scores of parks and preserves, hundreds of miles of trails catering to hikers of all levels, and year-round accessibility. Day Hiking: The San Juans and Gulf Islands is divided into roughly four sections: Anacortes, for many the gateway to the region; the San Juan Islands themselves, including some key islands not served by Washington State Ferries; Victoria, Canada, providing easy access to the Gulf Islands, as well as other unique destinations; and the magical southern Gulf Islands. Author Craig Romano explores state parks, county parks, and provincial parks as well as some municipal and regional parks. He also features the recent expansion of San Juan Island National Historic Park on San Juan Island and the recently created Gulf Islands National Park Reserve, spanning several of the southern Gulf Islands, both of which are not yet familiar to many hikers. While the star attractions are the ferry-accessed islands, Romano also features several of the larger islands that don’t have ferry service (e.g., Stuart Island)——making this guide of interest to paddlers and boaters who are looking for hikes too! Key features of this guide: 136 hikes (approximately 50% American, 50% Canadian locations) Ferry travel tips Car-camping recommendations Border-crossing details All distances and elevations in both English and metric units Overview maps for both the San Juans and Gulf Islands **Mountaineers Books designates 1 percent of the sales of select guidebooks in our Day Hiking series toward volunteer trail maintenance.

WTA hosts more than 750 work parties throughout Washington’s Cascades and Olympics each year, with volunteers clearing downed logs after spring snowmelt, cutting away brush, retreading worn stretches of trail, and building bridges and turnpikes. Their efforts are essential to the land managers who maintain thousands of acres on shoestring budgets.

Download or read book Best Summit Hikes in Colorado written by James Dziezynski and published by Wilderness Press. This book was released on 2012-08-07 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Colorado has 53 14ers, more than 600 13ers, and hundreds of other peaks that can be reached without special equipment or expertise. Numerous guides dryly catalog these trails, but Best Summit Hikes in Colorado stands out from them all. Author James Dziezynski has meticulously selected 80+ of the state's absolute best peaks in more than 50 superlative hikes, and his opinionated narrative brings each route to life. Each summit is included because of a notable feature--whether it's the site of a ghost mine or airplane wreckage, has thundering waterfalls or colorful floral meadows, is the best summit for spotting wildlife or bringing out-of-town friends, or is very accessible. Some peaks offer unique opportunities, such as a trailhead accessible only via a steam-powered railroad. Several summits are described in no other publication. Covering all Colorado's major mountain ranges, including the well-known Sangre De Cristo, Gore, Sawatch, Indian Peaks, and Maroon Bell wilderness areas to the lesser-known Grenadiers, Medicine Bow, and Outer San Juan peaks, this distinctive guide makes it easy to select exactly the right hike for the right day, the right mood, and the right companions.

Book excerpt: If you are planning to visit the San Juan's by boat and are wondering where to go, what to expect, and how to get there, this guide is written for you. This edition of San Juan Islands Cruise Guide is a larger size (8x10) and bigger (25 more pages) than our full color edition. We have added sections on planning, packing, dinghies, anchoring etiquette, and other cruising essentials. If you want the color edition > copy and search this locator - ISBN-13: 978-1494968083 or try this - amazon.com/San-Juan-Islands-Cruise-Guide/dp/1494968088 - or click on - "See all 3 formats and editions" - Written by a boater, and for boaters that are planning to visit the San Juan's and surrounding area. All the parks, resorts, marinas, cities and launching ramps are included with reviews and suggestions to help fellow boaters explore, cruise and boat camp. Look for the kindle version and the full color print version The area from Bellingham to Deception Pass, La Conner to Butchart Gardens and Victoria to Friday Harbor is included. Favorite hikes and strolls accessible only by boat are covered, bicycling and kayaking suggestions too. Some parks and destinations are outstanding, while others are not, this guide will arm you with useful knowledge earned by the authors decades of exploring, gunkholing and hiking the area. The somewhat tongue and cheek articles display an honest assessment of destinations for your benefit. It is clear throughout this guide that the author (me) wants to help you enjoy cruising the area and has compiled what every Skipper and Admiral wants to know. Notably, "Which parks have docks and bathrooms, and where to buy food, fuel, and ice." Plus all the launching ramps and marinas to help get you on the water. This is the special expanded black and white edition with over 25% more pages that includes boating, camping, and cruising essentials for your next best vacation. Imagine yourself discovering unique exciting places accessible only in your boat. One last tidbit: You are invited to visit our web site www.sailingthesanjuans.com where you will find all the information contained in the cruise guide, but not near as orderly. News Flash! - Last 4th of July (2016) I was lounging on the finger dock next to my boat at Friday Harbor when a fellow boater approached me. He said, "I recognize - Kraken (Kraken's on the back cover)- I bought your book, and use it as one of my resources." We had a long enjoyable talk. He said he drove from Redding Ca. and taking my advice put in at Squalicum Harbor. Meeting a happy camper, made my day. Thanks! John News Flash! - (Dec 2016) We will have a new travel guide to the San Juans out soon. The new guide will be a "Land and Sea" guide and will be for all travelers. The original "San Juan Islands Cruise Guide" is still your detailed boaters bible to the Marine Parks. The new guide is titled "San Juan Islands Travel Guide." It includes shore attractions, e.g. resorts, campgrounds, villages, parks, and lots of local community knowledge to assist your bicycling excursions, kayaking paddles, hiking and overall visit. The new guide is a companion resource to our cruise guide - not a replacement. Boat travelers to the San Juans should own and carry both.
