Reading Bob Wood's text is like having an old friend describe last weekend's hike to you. Wood passed away in 2003 but Bill Hoke, Doug Savage, and volunteers from the Peninsula Wilderness Club picked up the reins to do a thorough update. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Every trail has been rehiked and fact checked. Every new trailhead or rerouted path is documented in the descriptions, and 30 all-new trails have been added, bringing the total number of hikes to 206 within Olympic National Park and Olympic National Forest. But Wood's voice and even his original overview maps have been retained, lending this edition a classic tone while the information is decidedly current.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eWood, Robert:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cb\u003eRobert L.
