- "Forget-me-not Pass was an alpland filled to overflowing with colorful flower displays: red Indian paintbrush, purple asters, yellow buttercups, and, of course, myriads of blue forgetme-nots."
- "If you're a hiker who loves walking along rattling rivers or past forested lakes, or padding on rain-forest trails softened by mosses, I'd suggest you add one star to every lowland hike and subtract one star from every alpland hike in this guide."
