Snohomish County, WA – Hiking in Snohomish County, a new publication that features 30 hikes from beach walks to wilderness explorations, is now available free from the Snohomish County Tourism Bureau.

The guide describes 30 hikes in detail and includes driving directions, topographical maps and a handy chart that lists each hike’s roundtrip distance, easy-to-difficult rating, elevation gain, best season to hike it, and closest community. Also included are local resources and a list of accommodations for those who want to plan an overnight getaway around hiking.

This the third edition of Hiking in Snohomish County, authored by Craig Romano for the Snohomish County Tourism Bureau. Romano is an award-winning author of nine guidebooks on hiking in Washington State, content provider for Hikeoftheweek.com and Trails Editor for Outdoors NW magazine.

In this latest brochure, Romano increased the number of featured hikes from 25 to 30 and replaced some hikes in previous editions to spotlight new ones. The 30 hikes capture the full scope of hiking destinations within Snohomish County: beaches, scenic rivers, old-growth forests, alpine lakes, wildflower meadows, mountain tops, wildlife preserves, historic sites and impressive waterfalls.
