Perfect gift!
Just purchased for an older coworker that was retiring! She plans on joining a hiking group post retirement. She loved the gift and high quality book! This will see many uses

Great hiking guide
With so many hiking options in the PNW, the information helps with selecting appropriate-level hikes to enjoy with less than cooperative knees!
