For many years the go-to guide-book for The Wonderland Trail was Discovering the Wonders of the Wonderland Trail: Encircling Mount Rainier. It, along with a map or two, and you were ready to go. Bette’s book took me on my many Wonderland adventures and is still on my guidebook shelf. I have recommended this book to 100′s, [...]

A little while ago I was excited to hear the news about the newest Mt. Rainier map that was being debuted by Green Trails.
