Olympic National Park Nature Guide
Featuring art by Larry Eifert, text by Nancy and Larry Eifert
This is THE Olympic NP nature guide for those traveling light. Approved by the National Park Service, whose resourse staff helped make this book correct. Line art illustrations by Eifert provide visual keys throughout the two-color text. Alpine species, including plants and animals found only in the park, the marine ecosystem on the park's west side, and the lowland old-growth rainforest - it's all listed here in concise form. You won't need more.
This 51/2"x 81/2" soft-bound book weighs in at less than 2 oz. for 80 pages and over 400 species identified.
Written and illustrated in a friendly personal style, the Eiferts direct the curious towards a better understanding of Washington's Olympic National Park and the Olympic Peninsula's wild inhabitants. They live here, just under the eastern Olympic wall, so this is their "backyard."
