Book SynopsisTrade Review"Olympic National Park is a magical place—and this is its book."
* Seattle City Living *
"It’s no wonder this book has been so popular: McNulty is an excellent essayist and his subject is endlessly fascinating."
* Washington Park Arboretum Bulletin *
"Tim McNulty goes through Olympic National Park one ecosystem at a time, traveling from the mountains to the forests and on to the coast before turning his attention to the impact humans have had on the park's landscape. There's also a quick help section that tells you where to go to see wildflowers, old-growth forests, and wildlife. Too, he tosses in species checklists to help you keep track of what you've seen."
-- Kurt Repanshek * National Parks Traveler *
"A must-have for serious peninsula explorers."
* Port Townsend Leader *
"McNulty’s natural talents as a poet and essayist are put to good use in this all-in-one source. This book, ambitious in both scope and detail, remains the definitive book on the topic . . . ideal for travelers to the park itself as well as for students of history, lovers of nature."
* HistoryLink *
