3.0 out of 5 stars
Useful but not what I was hoping for,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Driving the Pacific Coast Oregon and Washington, 6th (Driving the Pacific Coast Oregon & Washington) (Paperback)
I was hoping this would be a description of scenic drives along the Pacific Coast Highway (similar to some of the Falcon Scenic Driving guides). It is more of a typical guide book to various locations along the way (sights, yes, but more on restaurants, lodging, etc.). It'll be useful on my planned trip, but as other reviewers have said, it's for use WHILE traveling, not so much (for me at least) for advance planning.

2.0 out of 5 stars
needs updating,
By Bill (Shelton, WA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Driving the Pacific Coast Oregon and Washington, 6th (Driving the Pacific Coast Oregon & Washington) (Paperback)
This book was first published in 1990, with several editions following. We found that many of the restaurants listed no longer existed. Oregon towns are covered more thoroughly than Washington, but all in all, this book is pretty thin on useful information. Campground info was pretty good though.

Well worth the investment!,
This review is from: Driving the Pacific Coast Oregon and Washington, 6th (Driving the Pacific Coast Oregon & Washington) (Paperback)
Although every little thing is not listed, it gives a very good overall picture of what is available along the coasts. We will enjoy using this book.
