5.0 out of 5 stars Hike with the Best, Dec 9 2001
By 
David Dworkin (N. Potomac, MD United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 100 Hikes in Washington's South Cascades and Olympics: Chinook Pass, White Pass, Goat Rocks, Mount St. Helens, Mount Adams (Paperback)
No one, and I mean no one, knows the trails of the Pacific Northwest like Ira Spring and Harvey Manning. Whether you are looking for advice on a brutal five day hike-a-thon over the toughest terain, or a family-friendly afternoon hike to introduce your outdoors passion to family or friends, they have been there and done that, with and without the kids or the crampons. The directions are always clear, concise, and accurate. The photos belong in a glossy coffee table book, not a guide book. Maybe there are individual books that are better at an individual trail, but for a sure thing every time, go with Spring and Manning!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Book, Mar 30 2000
This review is from: 100 Hikes in Washington's South Cascades and Olympics: Chinook Pass, White Pass, Goat Rocks, Mount St. Helens, Mount Adams (Paperback)
Good book for assisting in decisions about where you'd like to hike. Provides an idea of how crowded, well-maintained trails are, etc. Not the best Olympics guide, however (for that you want Robert Woods' book). Like the rest of the 100 Trails series, it's very good for an overview of your hiking options but lacks depth. Not a severe criticism, I've found my volumes of these books useful for many years.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fine starter book..., Sep 7 1998
By mrrw@uswest.net - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: 100 Hikes in Washington's South Cascades and Olympics: Chinook Pass White Passs Goat Rocks Mount St. Helens Mount Adams (Paperback)
It is a little rough around the edges. Many of the directions in the book are unclear, and make finding the trail difficult. Also the series needs to improve on emphasing the difficulty of some hikes. I have met many people on the trail that thought the 6 mile hike at 3800 ft increase in elevation was not going to be too bad. The author should note on these hike the experience the hiker should have.

Good book to get ideas, but you will need supplemental maps.
