Desolation Wilderness: the continued journal of a sequence of events occurring over a short period of time and in a more specific location in space. Desolation Wilderness is part of an ongoing project looking at 'landscape and memory' - our relationship with the environment and it's profound affect on our own memory and emotions. There is a place called Desolation Wilderness. It is real. It does exist. This collection of drawings is based on the notion of the 'idea' of a place, assumptions that are made about the nature of its existence and where its boundaries lay. Each landscape is part of a journey through a new and unfamiliar environment, exploring the intersection between physical experience and memory.

This new guide to hiking the fire lookouts of Washington’s Cascades and Olympics is the quintessential Northwest guide and will appeal to a wide range of hikers. Features of Hiking Washington’s Fire Lookouts include: 44 fire lookouts—those that feature access by trail All lookouts are accessible during the typical summer season Only lookouts that are still standing—no hiking up to a barren mound of broken concrete! Routes are not technical—hikers just need boots, trekking poles, and, probably, lunch Lookout history, anecdotes, and full-color photos throughout Each lookout description features the year it was constructed; access details, including overnight stays and winter access; location and land manager; roundtrip distance on trail; trail elevation gain; lookout’s elevation; map info; trailhead GPS coordinates; information about any permits or fees; and driving directions to the trailhead. Introductory chapters provide an overview of Washington State’s lookouts, as well as information about their upkeep, lookout architectural types, and general hiking tips, while an appendix provides an overview to a handful of additional lookouts in the state that are not hikable.
