This guide is nice but minimalistic. it has all the cities but just not enough activities and listings for each of them for our taste. The information in the guide is very good though and accurate.

3.0 out of 5 stars Same as "Lonely Planet Washington, Oregon & the Pacific Northwest", August 17, 2009

This review is from: Oregon (Lonely Planet CUSTOM Guide) (Paperback)

Take the "Lonely Planet Washington, Oregon & the Pacific Northwest" guide, remove a couple Washington-specific sections, and you have the Oregon book. The Oregon "Custom Guide" is otherwise identical word-for-word. There is no point buying both books!
