Most are scrambles (off trail non-technical climbing), 15 are hikes with a trail to the top, and 7 require climbing skills. Guide to 100 Peaks at Mount Rainier National Park is a unique guidebook to help you safely reach these amazing peaks.

The peaks are also grouped by area with suggestions for climbing two or more peaks in a single outing.

Customer Reviews
Little known hikes, scrambles and climbs
This guide is a treasure chest of knowledge written by two of the most knowledgable hiker/scrambler/climbers in the area. I volunteer at Rainier and I found much in the book that I did not know about. It is wonderful.
Moreover, it uses the interactive features of iBooks to the fullest. There are interactive maps and a very useful video describing the use of the interactive features and also how to print the maps and descriptions. Also available are GPS tracks for the routes described and links to online route maps.
In summary, it a very useful tool for both the planning and execution. Not only is it complete, but it is also fun to use. Thank you messieurs Eisenberg and Yore!
Guide to 100 Peaks at Mount Rainier National Park
I've just purchased this eBook. While I haven't used the trail information yet, just looking through the book makes me go "Wow"! Visually, this is a stunning guide. The photos look terrific on my iPad; I love the topo and aerial maps that one can enlarge with just a flick of the thumb and finger; and pictures of flora and fauna are nice reminders to slow down and look at the scenery you're hiking through. Driving directions appear to be clear and concise. Hiking/scrambling/climbing routes are well described, and the difference between the three is spelled out so that even a novice can figure out the differences. The good people at The Mountaineers Books, as well as authors Mickey Eisenberg and Gene Yore, have done themselves proud with this offering.
Guide to 100 Peaks at Mount Rainier
This is a fabulously detailed how-to-get-there guide that goes well beyond the 'turn right at the obvious tree' descriptions. GPS waypoints, great interactive maps, and trail notes will get you to the top of these peaks. Now, go start checking them off. You too can be a PeakBagger.
