About this book
Hiking the Wonderland Trail is the authoritative guide to planning and enjoying the world-class trail that circumnavigates Washington's Mount Rainier. Hikers who tackle this 93-mile route endure a strenuous 22, 000 feet of elevation gain and loss. Fully revised and refreshed, this second edition offers the best, most up-to-date and thorough information available, whether you're thru-hiking, section hiking, or exploring the adjacent Northern or Eastside Loop Trails. Washington native and professional hiking guide Tami Asars also now highlights a selection of short day hikes to encourage hikers to spend an extra night or two on the trail, while new sidebars written in her signature playful style, such as "Tami's Wonderland Trail Camp Superlatives!" spotlight bonus information to enhance your adventure.As one Wonderland Trail hiker notes, "If you have ever wanted to hike the WT in sections or as a complete loop, you need this book.... [Asars] describes in detail significant geological, botanical, and topographical formations and she interjects humor and historic insights throughout the text."
