best portable guide for the Cascades and Olympics A. Ostling This pocketable guide is designed for maximum utility in the field. The contrast of each photographs is perfectly matched to the print medium, avoiding blown shadows or highlights and faithfully showing the colors. As a curious amateur I particularly liked that each photo has a key to the plant family name. No less than 44 families are represented here.There is more joy in ruminating on the common names, some of which are particularly evocative - Mt Hood pussypaws, Siberian springbeauty, Northern bedstraw, Sidebells wintergreen, Parry's catchfly, S. Alison Miller said Beautifully done, and a must-have for any hiker or outdoorsperson in Washington!. Not only are the photographs gorgeous and detailed, the grouping by color (rather than characteristic) makes this guidebook easy to use and indispensable for anyone who loves the outdoors in this Pacific Northwest. It slips into a backpack side pocket or the inside pocket of a jacket, and opens into a display of the wildflowers found in the mountainous regions of Washington. Because of the lamination, I also expect that it will hold up to many seasons of use, and will help keep things interesting during even those rainy summer hikes!. LOVE IT. Very handy to take on the trail LOVE IT. Very handy to take on the trail.
