Product Description

Hiking from Here to WOW: North Cascades will guide hikers to the most compelling destinations in Washington's Glacier

Peak Wilderness and North Cascades National Park. This first book in the new full-color WOW series covers 50 trails that epitomize the

"wonder of wilderness". Each superlative hike was selected for its power to incite awe. The trips lead to cathedral forests,

psychedelic meadows, spiky summits, colossal glaciers, and more. Coverage ranges from short, tremendous dayhikes to multi-day backpacking

adventures. Dayhikers and backpackers alike will find that the discerning advice in this guidebook helps make the most of their precious weekends

and vacations. Kathy and Craig Copeland hiked more than 1500 miles through the range, ascending elevation equivalent to climbing from sea level to

the summit of Mt. Everest nine times. And they've described it in refreshing style--literate, entertaining, and inspiring.

About the Author

Kathy and Craig are dedicated to each other, and to hiking, in that order. Their second date was a 20-mi (32-km)dayhike in Arizona. Since then they haven't stopped for long.

They've trekked through much of the world's vertical topography, including the Nepalese Himalaya, Patagonian Andes, Spanish Pyrenees, Swiss Alps, Scottish Highlands, Italian Dolomites, and New Zealand Alps. In North America, they've explored the B.C. Coast, Selkirk and Purcell ranges, Montana's Beartooth Wilderness, Wyoming's Grand Tetons, the Colorado Rockies, and the California Sierra.

The Copelands are veteran guidebook writers who have an ardent fan base for their Don't Waste Your Time, Where Locals Hike, and Done in a Day series.
