In this guidebook, Nelson describes 85 hikes, complete with quick references for distance round trip, difficulty on a scale of one to five, highest elevation point, elevation gain, best season, map, contact information and GPS coordinates, followed by detailed descriptions of the individual hikes. In addition to specific destinations, at the beginning of the book Nelson goes into some detail about hiking with a dog in general, which I found particularly interesting.

Permits and regulations must be obeyed, not only for human and dog safety, but for the sake of the environment.

Hiking with Dogs

It means camp a distance away from a water source such as a lake or stream, not wash in the water, but collect water in a container and take it back to camp. Nelson gives many more examples of ways to keep the wilderness intact by leaving no trace. The trail etiquette section was an eye-opener for me. When a dog meets a horse, the dog owner must yield the trail and ensure the dog remains calm. Another rule of etiquette I learned is that when hikers meet other hikers, the group heading uphill has the right-of-way.

There are many more important points the author makes, points that make sense once the reasons are explained. Best Hikes with Dogs: Western Washington is a valuable reference for hikers with dogs, or even without dogs.

There are several areas, however, where dogs are not permitted or must be on leash. Dogs also must always be on leash in the also-popular Alpine Lakes Wilderness.

This includes most trails accessed from I and on Highway 2 west of Stevens Pass. Leashes are also required on several popular trails in the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest.

If you're unsure whether or not your dog should be on-leash, your best bet is to hike with him or her leashed. Dogs are welcome at state parks but must always be on a leash.
