Seattle Outdoors: Hiking & Cycling-Puget Sound and Cascades

Have a one-day adventure! Take a bus to a nearby place and hike or ride a bicycle for a day away from civilization. This book emphasizes the use of buses for access, listing more than 130 trips that are accessible without an automobile. For visitors to Seattle, this book is ideal, providing weeks of day trips that can be reached from any bus stop. For example, take the bus to the town of Sultan on Highway 2 and ride forest roads over the hills to the village of Snoqualmie near Highway I-90. A bus returns you to Seattle. A longer hiking trip begins by bus to Stevens Pass on Highway 2. Hike on the Pacific Crest Trail and on other trails that stay near or on the crest of Icicle Ridge to emerge at the town of Leavenworth and a return bus. The book has more than 800 trips ranging from easy day hikes or rides in the lowlands to weeklong backpacking trips in the Cascade Mountains.
