Rating: Summary: Nice guide to snowshoeing in washington. Review: A good general guide to snowshoeing in Washington. The trail descriptions are detailed, also provides elevation gain, mileage, and seasonal information. There is also information about road access which is especially essential in winter. One thing I always tend to harp on with these types of guidebooks is maps. In this case they are somewhat lacking. My feeling is that if you are going to include one then make it good and useful. Otherwise this is a good all around guide-book. Its one of many publishes by 'The Mountaineers'. There guidebooks are generally very high quality and I've read many in coming to that conclusion.

Rating: Summary: Snowshoe Routes : Washington Review: My wife and I snowshoed for the first time this past winter - now were hooked. This book is a great resource for locating good hikes. When it is raining during the Seattle winter - grab your shoes, this book and head out. Your sure to find deep powder and a great trail. Well worth the money!
Rating: Summary: A nice resource for either the novice or the expert! Review: This winter I went snowshoeing for the first time, and this was the guide that I used. Nelson provides a helpful resource for those searching for a nice trail or a backcountry spot to take on during a nice winter day. I found his directions and descriptions both informative and fun. If you live in the Northwest and own a pair of snowshoes, or want to try it for the first time -- as I did with a few friends -- than this book is well worth the cost!
