POSTPONED til 5/26--DAN NELSON, BEST HIKES WITH DOGS, WESTERN WASHINGTON, 2ND EDITION

In this completely updated guide, Dan Nelson adds twenty-five new hikes to sixty of the region’s most canine-compatible routes. Each trail is carefully selected for its scenic value, its lack of crowds, and its safety for dogs. Hikes range from easy 3-mile strolls to routes that require dogged determination, such as the 33-mile trek to Remmel Lake. These dynamic trails will leave your pup begging for more. This guide includes the Ten Canine Essentials and gives pointers for sharing the trail with others. Nelson covers everything from first aid for canines and guidelines for the leave-no-trace ethic to detailed directions and an at-a-glance comparison chart of the difficulty level, best season to go, and scenic highlights of every hike.
