Inhaltsangabe:

This new guide to hiking the fire lookouts of Washington’s Cascades and Olympics is the quintessential Northwest guide and will appeal to a wide range of hikers. Features of Hiking Washington’s Fire Lookouts include:

  • 44 fire lookouts—those that feature access by trail
  • All lookouts are accessible during the typical summer season
  • Only lookouts that are still standing—no hiking up to a barren mound of broken concrete!
  • Routes are not technical—hikers just need boots, trekking poles, and, probably, lunch
  • Lookout history, anecdotes, and full-color photos throughout
Each lookout description features the year it was constructed; access details, including overnight stays and winter access; location and land manager; roundtrip distance on trail; trail elevation gain; lookout’s elevation; map info; trailhead GPS coordinates; information about any permits or fees; and driving directions to the trailhead. Introductory chapters provide an overview of Washington State’s lookouts, as well as information about their upkeep, lookout architectural types, and general hiking tips, while an appendix provides an overview to a handful of additional lookouts in the state that are not hikable.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor: Amber Casali was born in Seattle, Washington. She discovered backpacking in college on a wilderness extension program in Northern California, spending two weeks at a time on the trail and living out of bear canisters. A flurry of travel after college inspired her to jump on the blogging bandwagon. She wrote about eating tapas in Spain, hiking to temples in Thailand, volunteering on farms in Italy, teaching English in South Korea, and soaking in hot springs in Bolivia. After living overseas for a year in a place with only small mountains, Amber missed the big peaks and wild backcountry of the Pacific Northwest and moved back to Seattle in 2012. Since then, she's become an avid hiker and novice mountaineer. When not outside, she works as a writer and editor at a tech marketing agency.
