Best Old Growth Forest Hikes: Washington & Oregon Cascades (Best Hikes)

By John Cissel

Book Overview

Old-growth forests, their giant trees towering over richly-carpeted floors, are one of the defining features of the Pacific Northwest's beauty. But did you know that old-growth forests also occur in near-desert and near- arctic settings, on sites exposed to frequent forest fires, and even on top of lava flows! This book describes the full suite of old-growth forest types found in the Cascade Mountain range and guides you to the trails where you can enjoy them.

Not just a list of big trees

Only had a week to visit Washington State, and made the absolute best hiking choices using this great book! Information was right on about where, when and how. Avoided crowds and saw some of the most fabulous forests left in the NW lower 48.
