Recenzii
"This is an excellent book for a novice hiker who’s interested in hiking the Wonderland trail. It’s also an excellent book for a more experienced hiker planning to spend time on the Wonderland Trail. Loraine gives exact, detailed advice on what to pack, when to go, what to expect, how to get in shape and so on." —Seattle Backpacker Magazine, October 2012
Notă biografică
Douglas Lorain’s family moved to the Pacific Northwest in 1969, and he has been obsessively hitting the trails of his home region ever since. Over the years he calculates that he has logged well over 30,000 trail miles in this corner of the continent, and despite a history that includes being bitten by a rattlesnake, shot at by a hunter, charged by a grizzly bear, and donating countless gallons of blood to “invertebrate vampires,” he happily sees no end in sight.
Lorain is a photographer and recipient of the National Outdoor Book Award. His books cover only the best trips from the thousands of hikes and backpacking trips he has taken throughout Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. His photographs have been featured in numerous magazines, calendars, and books. He is described by the Seattle Times as the "next great Northwest trail guide author."
