Editorial Reviews

Product Description

In-depth coverage of the area’s wonderful cities—Portland, Seattle, Vancouver and Victoria—plus its many coastal hamlets and mountain getaways
Packed with dozens of “hidden” spots like peaceful Lost Lake, where fishing for rainbow trout is only allowed from rental canoes and non-motorized boats

 

The ultimate guide for enjoying the Northwest’s great outdoors, with details on over 200 parks, beaches and wilderness areas, including more than 300 hiking trails and over 700 campgrounds

About the Author
Rainbound in a Mexican hotel when he was thirteen years old with nothing to read except an abandoned biography of Rimbaud, Eric Lucas decided to become a writer. He stole the book (which he still has) and set out to become a wild, decadent poet Finding the market for florid poetry limited, he began writing travel and magazine articles. He has now settled down (a bit) and lives on Vaughn Island in Puget Sound. An avid outdoorsman, he loves the Pacific Northwest's tall, forbidding mountains as much as its sophisticated cities. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews 22 of 22 people found the following review helpful: 4.0 out of 5 stars very useful and accurate, March 23, 2003 By  "shefali_s_joshi2" (santa clara, ca United States) - See all my reviews This review is from: Hidden Pacific Northwest: Including Oregon, Washington, Vancouver, Victoria & Coastal British Columbia (Hidden Pacific Northwest, 6th ed) (Paperback) I have the 5th Edition of this book, but, this can only be better I hope. It is a very personal review of the states and what they have to offer and as opposed to other books that are just boring and incomprehensible listings of attractions and dining and lodging . I actually went to some of the dining and hidden attraction recommendations from this book and it didn't fail me. All those places were certainly what the book said they would be or maybe more than that. The only drawback i can see is that there wasnt any mention of good campgrounds that car-campers could easily refer to. But for that, you can look up "the best in tent camping". Good Luck with your trips. I know mine was a great success. 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful: 3.0 out of 5 stars A good "Starter" for travel planning, January 17, 2008 By  M. Blanchard (East Lansing, MI USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    This book covers three main regions including Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia and therefore does not go into too much detail on each region. I would recommend using this book as a good starting point for travel planning, but not if you are looking for lots of details. The book includes items that it describes as being "hidden" or off the beaten path, which could prove interesting for many travelers. The sections on lodging could be enhanced more to include additional suggestions. The book does include some useful maps that are very helpful. For more detailed travel information, you may want to read a guide book that covers one state.		Ad feedback   Search Customer Reviews Only search this product's reviews
