More About This Book

Overview

Hiking from Here to WOW: North Cascades will guide hikers to the most compelling destinations in Washington’s Glacier Peak Wilderness and North Cascades National Park. This first book in the new full-color WOW series covers 50 trails that epitomize the “wonder of wilderness”. Each superlative hike was selected for its power to incite awe. The trips lead to cathedral forests, psychedelic meadows, spiky summits, colossal glaciers, and more. Coverage ranges from short, tremendous dayhikes to multi-day backpacking adventures. Dayhikers and backpackers alike will find that the discerning advice in this guidebook helps make the most of their precious weekends and vacations. Kathy and Craig Copeland hiked more than 1500 miles through the range, ascending elevation equivalent to climbing from sea level to the summit of Mt. Everest nine times. And they’ve described it in refreshing style—literate, entertaining, and inspiring.
