Backpacking Washington
from volcanic peaks to rainforest valleys
DOUGLAS LORAINBackpacking Washington

Backpacking Washington remains the only comprehensive guide to all of the Evergreen State’s best extended backpacking trips. Ranging from three days to two weeks, these 28 adventures visit every corner of the state, including the wild beaches of the Olympic Peninsula, the vast interior of the Pasayten Wilderness, Mt. Rainier’s famous Wonderland Trail, the volcanic wasteland around Mt. St. Helens, and the little-known Salmo-Priest Wilderness, where hikers may glimpse grizzly bears.

  • Three new backpacking outings—in the Olympic Mountains, Pasayten Wilderness, and Mt. St. Helens National Volcanic Monument—and 13 bonus hikes.
  • Sixteen pages of full-color photographs.
  • Descriptions of scenery, crowds, trail popularity, difficulty, mileage, elevation gain, length of trail, and shuttle distance provide all the information needed to plan the perfect backpacking trip.
  • Award-winning author/photographer Douglas Lorain supplies clear trip narratives as well as tips about creek crossings, water availability, worthwhile side trips, potential problems, and notes and comments about weather and terrain.
