From flower-filled alpine meadows to streams lined with delicate Scouler’s corydalis blooms, Washington offers something for every hiker—and flower lover. Brothers Nathan and Jeremy Barnes expertly guide readers on 50 trails to spectacular seasonal floral displays, with each handpicked route showcasing a specific species and including turn-by-turn route descriptions, a detailed topo map, history of the area, and information about other wildflowers found along the trail.

Nathan Barnes, along with his brother, Jeremy, founded the popular website and hiking resource hikingwithmybrother.com in 2009. They are known for including historical background, detailed maps, and vibrant photos for every hike. The authors of two other guides, Alpine Lakes Wilderness: The Complete Hiking Guide and Hiking Through History Washington, they both live in Seattle.
