100 Hikes in the Inland Northwest: Eastern Washington, Northern Rockies, Wallowas

Rating:
Summary: Northern Idaho at its best.
Review: As I have completed approximately 30 out of the 100 hikes that are described in this book, I feel that it has been an excellent guide with only minor discrepencies. The accuracy of "100 Hikes" is difficult to match and one rarely finds the number of pictures that is offered. A definite must for anyone planning to hike in the inland northwest.

Summary: Once a good source of information, now out of date
Review: I anticipated the book being about hikes in the Eastern Washington area. The book however covers not only Eastern Washington but also delves into Montana, Oregon, Idaho, and British Columbia. That isn't an inherantly bad thing, but if you're looking specifically for Eastern Washington hikes this might not be the tome to purchase.

Summary: Top Guide for Spokane Area
Review: I have used this guide book for several years and it is the best for the Spokane area. The hikes and backpacks are described accurately with respect to difficulty even if I don't seem to go as fast as the estimated time of travel. Especially helpful is the directions to the trailhead. I like the information on the status of the wilderness protection for each area. Good value.

Summary: Once a good source of information, now out of date
Review: This book is a once noble effort that is now in dire need of an update. The Mountaineers '100 Hikes' series is usually a good bet for information in the NW USA, but in this case you'll have to do your own sniffing around to get up to date information. The book is useful, if only to give you some good ideas of the options available in this area.
