Day Hike! Olympic Peninsula uncovers the region’s best trails for day trippers, with more than 70 day-hikes from Hoodsport to Hurricane Ridge to the Pacific coast. The routes range from easy to extreme, allowing everyone from young children and seniors to serious climbers to enjoy this scenic area. Trails are rated on a scale of one to five based on views, water elements such as streams and waterfalls, crowding, and level of fun. Each trail description provides essential details, including mileage and estimated hiking time, elevation gain, conditions, best season, and special notes on dogs, bikes, and children. Clear, up-to-date driving directions ensure hikers don’t get lost on the way to the trailhead. This updated edition covers changes made to trails damaged by recent harsh winters as well as three new hikes and a completely revised section on Dosewallips.   less
