Take a Walk - Get out there! Inspiring

I have a ton of walking, hiking, biking, cruising books around Puget Sound. This is by far one of the better ones I have acquired. I love its organization. It gives you the nitty gritty directions, what's there, quick map, features, all the basic stuff with only two pages per park. Its what I call my "idea" book. I'm in the mood but don't know where to go - I should check out a new park. This is the book. You can quickly thumb through it get inspired to check out a local park! I have been to several of the parks listed, and I found the information is accurate and informative. If you want more details with more pages pick up "Nature in the City of Seattle", A Mountaineers Book.

Great for Olympia, WA

I used this book while temporarily living in Olympia, WA, and it was a great guide to experiencing the abundance of natural beauty around the small city. Most guide books on the state of WA only cover more obvious areas like Seattle or the Olympic National Rainforest or Mount Rainier. "Take a Walk" is a great resource for walking trails in areas that are more off the beaten path. Also, the author provides helpful information regarding the description of the trails, difficulty level, handicap access, and directions. I can't vouch for the trails in areas outside of Olympia but, based on my experience, I would highly recommend this book as a useful, descriptive resource.
