From Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "Craig Romano knows his trails. Detailed, easy to follow and plenty of options for exploring. He is a pacific Northwest author, which I love as the places he writes about are home to me. I enjoy just reading his books, even if I haven't hit all the trails he describes. Someday that will happen."; "Great book of hikes & trail on the Olympic peninsula. Clear directions, good maps and beautiful imagery of what you will see, has a sense of humor, too. Also marks trails for handicapped and families with kids. Had good advice on what to carry when using those trails."; "We just moved into the area and were looking for suggestions of where to go hiking. So far, any hike we have chosen from this book has been amazing! It is easy to follow, with driving and hiking directions, and gives enough detail to pick an appropriate hike for the day."
