Editorial Reviews

You don't have to go a great distance to find a great trail. Just ask local hiking guide author Craig Romano.... He has been putting on the miles, seeking out nearby natural wonders, and putting them in his Urban Trails Guidebooks.

King 5 Evening

[The Urban Trails] guidebooks serve as an awesome tool for finding hidden hiking gems and pockets of greenspace close to home…. The perfect size for throwing in your pack, and full of great information.

Washington Trails Association

Forty-five easy-to-access trails in Snohomish and Island counties are highlighted in Craig Romano’s new book, “Urban Trails Everett: Western Snohomish County, Camano Island, Whidbey Island.” All of the trails are walkable year-round and can be reached via public transit. They’re suitable for all ages, and some, such as the Lowell Riverfront Trail in Everett, are wheelchair-accessible.... Think of “Urban Trails Everett” as a handbook for veterans and newbies alike.
