What They're Saying
Critics Review
“Just in time for the National Park Service centennial…[this] guide, with topographical maps, focuses on hikes in parks and monuments in Oregon and Washington, including two dozen walks around iconic Mount Rainier and Mount St. Helens.”
—Seattle Times
“Retired outdoor columnist Seabury Blair Jr. has built a second career as a guidebook author with his Creaky Knees guides…and he clearly believes that just because folks are getting a little long in the tooth or stiff in the joints doesn’t mean they should be sentenced to spending their remaining years sitting in front of the television set.”
—The Bookmonger, Kitsap Sun
“For seniors, those with small children and probably a lot of other folks who aren’t in terrific shape.”
—The Daily News
“Even with Mt. Rainier in our backyard, some of us are not made for mountain climbing. Do not be deterred! Check out [The Creaky Knees Guide,] intended for anyone more interested in a stroll than a climb.”
—Tacoma Public Library
“Hikers explore the splendor of the national parks and monuments of Oregon and Washington with this guide to 75 of the best easy-to-walk day hikes.”
—Sir Read A Lot
“You’ll soon find that these will be your go-to guides for enjoyable jaunts in the great outdoors.”
—Trailblazer Girl
