I purchased this book when I first moved out to Seattle and I found it to be great guide for finding interesting places to go around the region. It is a fantastic book for people that don't know the area and are interested in mult-sports. I have used it from everything from planning solo hikes, weekends with friends. Admittedle, it is an overview book and is not indepth in any particular sporting area, but this is usually the first book I pick up when I am trying to find a suggestion of something to do in the area.
Entertaining and Informative. A Great Reference.

My girlfriend got this book for our cross country adventure from Indiana to Seattle. We started reading it to each other somewhere in Missouri and never put it down. The information is presented in a very concise manner and is also extremely entertaining. We found the book to be a great reference and used it to find day hikes in Oregon, mountain bike trails around Seattle, and campsites on the Olympic Peninsula
