With one of the largest tracts of wilderness in the Lower 48, Washington's North Cascades offer endless opportunities for adventure, and prolific guidebook writer Craig Romano has lined up 136 of the region's best hikes. This second edition covers Mount Baker, the North Cascades Highway, North Cascades National Park, the Methow Valley, the Pasayten Wilderness, portions of Glacier Peak Wilderness, and the Mountain Loop Highway.

Whether you want to amble along the shores of a peaceful high-elevation lake, admire glacier-clad slopes, enjoy fall color in alpine meadows, stroll among old-growth cedars, or take in stunning vistas from a hard-won rocky summit, this second edition of Day Hiking: North Cascades has you covered. **Mountaineers Books designates 1 percent of the sales of select guidebooks in our Day Hiking series toward volunteer trail maintenance.
