Of America's 680 designated wilderness areas, 200 are pocket wildernesses of fewer than 12,000 acres. These small wonders are wilder than most parks and forests, yet their size makes them more intimate and approachable than their larger counterparts. They are small enough to be thoroughly explored over a long weekend, but large enough to offer varied terrain and activities. And these pocket wildernesses are free from vehicular distractions, making the outdoor experience more pristine than that of a forest or park. This comprehensive guide provides complete recreational information for 20 pocket wildernesses in California, Oregon, and Washington. Each chapter has detailed trail information and descriptions of wilderness geology, flora, and fauna, as well as signature outdoor activities that surround the wildland, such as mountain biking, paddling, rock hounding, even whale watching! Each chapter will include an activity table with information on what is available, as well as recommending family activities, nearby attractions, and lodging options. 50 black & white photographs, 20 maps, index.
