Northwest kids live in a magnificent natural playground -- this adventure companion helps them explore its forests, beaches, mountains, and deserts. Scavenger hunts for every hike make it fun for families to learn about the region's geology, flora, and fauna. For successful adventures with even the youngest trekkers, educator Wendy Gorton includes a detailed map, trustworthy and intuitive directions, a difficulty rating, restroom info, and places to grab a snack nearby for every trip.
