This is a MUST have book for waterfall hunters, Mr.Plumb does a excellent job in telling you how to get to the falls, how hard it is to get to it and how nice the falls are. Plus there are a lot of real nice photo's here,although there all black and white, except the cover of the book.
I also liked how he has maps of each "section" of the three states in this book.
Each waterfall listed in the book Mr.Plumb tells you how to get to that waterfall, what kind of waterfall it is, how hard it is to get to it, the height of the falls, a star rating on how nice the falls are, and a little detail about the waterfall, and each waterfall he listed in the book has a very good map on where it is.
You certainly WILL NOT be disappointed in this book, I use it whenever I look to see what falls I want to go to.

This fantastic book is in it's 4th or 5th printing. The reason why is because it is so comprehensive, and so thorough, and so original.

The author not only visited literally hundreds of waterfalls all listed in this book, which must have taken months of research, plus travels, and studying of topographic maps, on top of countless miles of hiking, backpacking, and even some boating. The book is also very easy to read. There are no long passages of famous quotes from naturalists of the past. Just lists of waterfalls grouped by region, making it very easy to see more than a few on one trip. Add great directions and maps on how to get there, and superb descriptions of each waterfall. He also rates the waterfalls, gives information on how worthy the view is, how easy or hard it is to get to the waterfall.

If you are a waterfall lover, or even think you're interested in seeing some, this valuable book is as good as it gets.

I recently went to Northwest Oregon and this book was extremely helpful. I was puking waterfalls by the time I came back. ;~) FYI... all the reviews have given this 5 stars, the one person who put 1 star was rating the seller, not the book.

This is a wonderful book for waterfall lovers. My husband and I use it all the time. The directions, and all the info regarding the hikes is very useful.

I live in the northwest and have been to many of the waterfalls listed in this book. the author is right on every point. A must for anyone wanting to see the wonder of the northwest.... waterfalls
