Day Hiking In The North Cascades - An Evening with Craig Romano

Come take a slideshow hiking tour of Washington’s famed North Cascades with award winning guidebook author Craig Romano. Drawing from his Second Edition Day Hiking North Cascades (Mountaineers Books); Craig will introduce you to a diverse array of trails on the Mountain Loop Highway, and in the North Cascades National Park, Mount Baker Region, Twisp River Valley, and Methow Valley. Craig hiked more than 2000 miles researching this book from easy nature trails to wilderness romps. This all new completely revised, and updated volume contains 136 hikes, including many found in no other guidebooks. Many of the hikes from the previous edition have been greatly expanded providing for even more hiking opportunities.

Romano is one of the most prolific trails writers in the Northwest having penned more than two dozen books covering the region. His Columbia Highlands: Exploring Washington’s Last Frontier, was recognized in 2010 by Washington Secretary of State, Sam Reed and State Librarian, Jan Walsh as a Washington Reads book for its contribution to Washington’s cultural heritage.

This event is co-sponsored by The Mountaineers, Foothills branch, and the City of Bellevue Parks & Community Services department. All proceeds will go to support the City's TRACKS outdoor adventure and youth leadership programs and the Mountaineers non-profit, volunteer-led hiking and backpacking programs.

You can get a ticket for free, but if you have appreciated all the efforts of The Mountaineers and the Bellevue Parks Department to keep everyone's outdoor dreams alive during the Covid-19 pandemic and on into the future, we'd be so appreciative if you'd purchase a $10 or $15 ticket. All proceeds will be split equally between the two organizations to support their outdoor recreation access and equity efforts.
