The Central Cascades offer some of the most accessible wilderness areas for urban Seattleites, with trails no less stunning or enjoyable than those in more remote regions. Day Hiking Central Cascades includes 50% more hikes than other regional guidebooks and focuses on cream-of-the-crop trails in these areas: Whidbey Island; Skykomish, Wenatchee, and Icicle River Valleys; the Entiat Mountains; the Lake Chelan area; and more. Compact in size, this is the most up-to-date guide for the area, organized along highways and other travel corridors, and with an emphasis on trails that are 12 miles or less, round-trip, each of them hiked by the author.

  • 125 trails, each rated on an overall-quality scale of 1 to 5
  • Full-color photo insert and overview map

Adam E. ★★★★★

The trail descriptions actually tell you what the crowds look like on a weekend versus a Tuesday, which saved me from a packed lot twice already. I've dog-eared the North Bend and Snoqualmie pass sections more than anything else on my shelf.

William ★★★★★

Took this on a Saturday hike up to Lake Dorothy and the directions to the trailhead were dead on, which saved me a good twenty minutes of circling. The maps are simple enough to read at a glance, though I still photocopied the pages I needed.

Henry Q. ★★★★★

The trail descriptions actually tell you how crowded a spot gets on weekends, which saved me from a miserable Saturday at one of the popular lake hikes. Mileage and elevation gain are listed right up front so I could plan a short one with my kid. Been carrying it in my daypack for two months now.
