A holiday gift for the Seattle hiker on your list

[Allen Cox]

You've eaten seafood until you're beginning to feel like a crustacean, you've sipped Mochas at the original Starbucks, you've even crowded into the Space Needle elevator with hoards of perspiring tourists – so what else is there to do?

Pick up a copy of Seattle's newest hiking guide by yours truly, Best Easy Day Hikes–Seattle, published in July by Falcon Guides, and hit the trail. These hikes, all within an hour of downtown Seattle, range from urban treks to foothill trails. The twenty trails featured in the guidebook each offer the promise of discovery and live up to the book's title – every one of them is classified as "easy" and is a fresh alternative to the usual Seattle must-dos for people of all hiking abilities, from kids to grandparents.

In researching this book, I discovered my new favorite hike. Who knows? Pick up a copy and you might discover yours as well.
