“A love poem to the living things that inhabit the mountains and rivers of Washington, coastal Oregon, and southwestern British Columbia.” —Saul Weisberg, executive director, North Cascades Institute
More than just a field guide, Cascadia Revealed is the essential trailside reference for naturalists, hikers, and campers. With engaging prose and precise science, Dan Mathews brings the mountains alive with stories of their formation and profiles of the plants, animals, and people that live there. This is the perfect overview to help you discover the wonders of the region.
As a Washington State Resident for my 18 years of life, I have spent time watching these incredible creatures living their life. This book serves as a great depiction of all the wonderful animals living in this gorgeous state. All the authors that are involved in this book capture the beauty of witnessing the little things in this life.
Field guides can be sorta dry, especially for newcomers, but this one is extremely readable and full of fun facts. Highly recommend if you’re looking to learn more about the flora, fauna, and even geology of the PNW.
