Best Guide to Best Coast on West Coast
I'm sure many other readers will rate this gem of a book as the quintessential guide to day hiking on the Oregon coast but I just want to draw special attention to Bonnie Henderson's additionally invaluable coverage of the Oregon Coast Trail (from WA to CA) (and she also keeps a super link updated on Wikipedia/Oregon Coast Trail)...

This review is from: Day Hiking Oregon Coast (Done in a Day) (Paperback)
This book has some useful hike descriptions, and is a good way to find a hike for any area of the Oregon coast you might be visiting. However, the book designers really missed the ball on the trail maps. They frequently included multiple trails on the same map, and then forgot to label which was which, so you really have to do some detective work to figure out the appropriate map for the hike you're attempting to do. Also, the trails themselves are shown by a thin dotted line which doesn't stand out against the other map features, like boundaries or geography. Is that the trail or the park border? Both?
The book contains a lot of useful knowledge, but the graphic designers really let it down. The other entries in the 'Day Hiking' series are much stronger.
