Reviews
  • [The Urban Trails] guidebooks serve as an awesome tool for finding hidden hiking gems and pockets of greenspace close to home…. The perfect size for throwing in your pack, and full of great information.
    — Washington Trails Association
  • Urban Trails: Bellingham is the latest pocket guide from Craig Romano, the Energizer Bunny of Northwest guidebook authors, writing this time about much of his own backyard. Romano writes concisely and informatively, with some of the more detailed route descriptions in guide-bookdom which is a blessing for areas such as the Chuckanut Mountains with its interlocking maze of trails.
    Brian Cantwell, The Seattle Times
  • The second in a series of guidebooks featuring trails that are close to town--Urban Trails: Olympia, Urban Trails: Seattle, and Urban Trails: Everett are next--the close-to-home tome [Urban Trails: Bellingham] focuses on easy-access trails and parks in and around Bellingham, the Chuckanut Mountains, and Skagit Valley.
