Customer Reviews

Very happy reader

I bought this book to get some natural history background before a 10-day backpack trip in Olympic National Park. The book is so fine I ended up carrying it with me. The information is vast and accurate, the writing is first-rate, the author's knowledge is deep, and his understanding and compassion for this special place are infectious. A MUST read for anyone interested in the Olympic Mountains and their unique natural heritage.
