About this ebook

The most comprehensive and authoritative guide to the Olympics, first published more than 35 years ago
Sales of this new edition benefit Olympic Mountain Rescue

Olympic Mountains Trail Guide is a treasured, classic guidebook to one of the region’s top hiking destinations. Reading Bob Wood’s text is like having an old friend describe last weekend’s hike to you. Wood passed away in 2003 but Bill Hoke, Doug Savage, and volunteers from the Peninsula Wilderness Club picked up the reins to do a thorough update.

Every trail has been rehiked and fact checked. Every new trailhead or rerouted path is documented in the descriptions, and 30 all-new trails have been added, bringing the total number of hikes to 206 within Olympic National Park and Olympic National Forest. But Wood’s voice and even his original overview maps have been retained, lending this edition a classic tone while the information is decidedly current.

About the author

Robert L. Wood first saw the Olympics in 1946. From that time, he walked thousands of miles exploring and writing about them. He wrote four respected histories about Olympic National Park. Wood died in 2003 at the age of 78, having lived a full life.

William E. Hoke came to the northwest from the Midwest in 1969 and was a graduate of the Mountaineers’ Basic Climbing course in 1970. Since then he has led summit climbs of Washington’s volcanoes and hiked more than 2,000 miles in Olympic National Park, much of it solo. Bill was an outdoor columnist for the Kitsap Sun and is the author of River Voices on the Duckabush: Poems and Life Stories.
