In Beyond Mount Si You'll find 70 of the best hikes within 85 miles of Seattle. Sure, Mount Si is included -- after all, it's our backyard hike, the trail that made many of us hikers. But Mount Si is overrun, and the Cascades and foothills near Seattle are full of other beautiful trails for day hiking and backpacking. These are the hikes beyond Mount Si, not necessarily farther away or more difficult, just different and less crowded. Explore trails in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness and the Issaquah Alps. Enjoy unparalleled scenery along the Pacific Crest Trail and in Mount Rainier National Park. Revel in awe at the rocky crags and crashing waterfalls of the Henry M. Jackson and Norse Peak Wilderness Areas. Zilly's precise maps and trail descriptions lead to pleasant creekside walks, stunning mountain lakes, and high peaks. With all the best trails in one guidebook, this is essential gear for Seattle-area hikers. Book jacket.
