Hikers headed north to Snohomish County can get ideas from a new brochure that features 30 hikes from beach walks to wilderness explorations. The guide is now available free from the Snohomish County Tourism Bureau.

The guide describes the hikes in detail and includes driving directions, topographical maps and a handy chart that lists each hike’s round-trip distance, easy-to-difficult rating, elevation gain, best season to hike it and closest community.

This the third edition of “Hiking in Snohomish County,” authored by Craig Romano for the Snohomish County Tourism Bureau.

To obtain Hiking in Snohomish County, go to snohomish.org/informationandrequests or phone Tourism Bureau at 425-348-5802, ext. 10 to request the brochure be mailed.
