Going to Olympic Peninsula? Then buy this book!

Insider's Guide to the Olympic Peninsula is a must. The book is well organized and the "inside tips" are great. I have purchased several books on the Peninsula, but they only give you descriptions of the hiking trails, some history and geology. That's good, but I need to know what to do when I am not hiking. That's where the Insider's Guide is great. It gives recommendations and information on restaurants, lodging, museums, stores, festivals and much more (there is some hiking information). Also, it includes websites, other reference books and phone numbers to look into more detail on the towns, etc. If you want to do anything besides hiking for your time in the Olympic Peninsula, then you should purchase this comprehensive book.

A note from one of the authors

As one of the co-authors of this travel guide, I just want to point out some of the features that make Insiders' Guide to the Olympic Peninsula stand out from other guides about the area. In writing the book my wife Natalie and I worked to find the shops, lodgings and restaurants that stood out in each town along the Olympic Peninsula - things that were unique to the community. And the same goes for the local recreation opportunities, trails and campgrounds. This book is the result not only of a year of memorable travel and research but also of our years of visiting some favorite places on the Peninsula.We hope that others will enjoy our first edition and be sure to contact us if you know of revisions for any upcoming editions!
