About Hiking the Wonderland Trail. . .
Hiking the Wonderland Trail is the authoritative guide to planning and enjoying the world-class trail that circumnavigates Washington’s Mount Rainier. Hikers who tackle this 93-mile route endure a strenuous 22,000 feet of elevation gain and loss. Fully revised and refreshed, this second edition offers the best, most up-to-date and thorough information available, whether you’re thru-hiking, section hiking, or exploring the adjacent Northern or Eastside Loop Trails. Washington native and professional hiking guide Tami Asars also now highlights a selection of short day hikes to encourage hikers to spend an extra night or two on the trail, while new sidebars written in her signature playful style, such as "Tami’s Wonderland Trail Camp Superlatives!" spotlight bonus information to enhance your adventure.
As one Wonderland Trail hiker notes, "If you have ever wanted to hike the WT in sections or as a complete loop, you need this book. . . . [Asars] describes in detail significant geological, botanical, and topographical formations and she interjects humor and historic insights throughout the text."
Outdoor writer and nature photographer Tami Asars has hiked the Pacific Crest, Continental Divide, Appalachian, Colorado, Arizona, Tahoe Rim and West Coast Trail, as well as many others. After circumnavigating Mount Rainier over a dozen times, Asars says the Wonderland Trail is still her favorite. Asars is the author of several hiking guides including Day Hiking Mount Rainier, 2ndEdition and Hiking the Pacific Crest Trail: Washington as well as a contributor and columnist for numerous outdoor publications, websites, and magazines. She has served as a professional backpacking guide in the Pacific Northwest, including guiding on the Northern Loop in Mount Rainier National Park. Asars was born and raised in Washington and currently lives in the Cascade foothills with her husband, Vilnis, and her rough collie, Scout. www.tamiasars.com
