4 comments about Adventure Guide to Pacific Northwest.

1. Most people are aware that the Space Needle is in Seattle and that the Columbia River Gorge is a must-see on any trip to the Northwest. But where should you turn for information about watching the killer whales (orcas) among Washington's gorgeous San Juan Islands? Fishing along the rugged Oregon coast? Hiking in country said to be frequented by Bigfoot himself? Parasailing over Puget Sound? Engaging some llamas to carry your gear on a camping trip to the high country? And much, much more. "Adventure Guide to the Pacific Northwest" will take you where you want to go.



2. i bought this book because i read the review that gave this five stars. as a resident of washington state, i was very disappointed with the restaurant and hotel suggestions provided. since when should the space needle restaurant be a 'recommended restaurant?' it's pricey and noisy, and the food is ok - exactly what you'd expect from a touristy place. you are better off having a GREAT takeout meal at the buffalo deli on 1st avenue - which has the best sandwiches downtown - and taking your lunch to pike market to watch the ferries.

   what about great, out of the way places to stay, like pensione nichols, which is inexpensive and charming?

   you are better off buying the fodor's gold guide, or frommer's guide to washington state if you are looking for 'local color.'




3. Too much information is packed into this book with not as much detail. Its alright if you want just an overview of the attractions / activities.
   For a more detailed and more personal view of Oregon / Washington, I would recommend "Hidden Pacific NorthWest". And no, I've not been paid to publicize this book. hehe. Speaking from my own experience.



4. Adventure Guide to the Pacific Northwest by Don & Marjorie Young is a Hunter Travel Guide which I can also highly recommend. We love traveling in the Pacific Northwest but there is so very much to see I couldn't imagine how they could get it all into one book, but they have done a very good job of it! The organization of the book makes it easy to find just what you want in each area from restaurants and places to stay in all price ranges, tours, camping, information sources, maps, etc. I especially like the sections called Adventures which have separate catagories for on foot, horseback, wheels, water, and snow. This is a guide worth having and nominally priced

1 comments about Wineries of the Pacific Northwest.

1. Wineries of the Pacific Northwest is a perfect glove compartment or purse-sized guide to the rapidly burgeoning roster of Oregon wineries. If you are planning to visit Oregon, you need this book!

   One of my children recently became interested in moving to Oregon, so I naturally began to wonder about what else there was to see that I had missed on previous trips. I tend to get to the mountains, Crater Lake, great golf courses and to see the algae harvest at Klamath Lake.

   Naturally, I've enjoyed visiting wineries all over California, but I've never visited one in Oregon. What a pleasant surprise it was to find this excellent guide.

   In 1990, Oregon had 71 wineries. Now there are more than 190 and the number is growing. Oregon ranks second in the U.S. for numbers of wineries and fourth for production.

   The state's wineries are conveniently combined into four potential tasting tours. Two are for one day . . . and the one that intrigues me is for 2 to three days. So you could space this out to occupy a tasty week.

   For each winery, you get the address, directions, hours, the names of the owners, winemakers and helpful people who work there. In addition, you find out about what Ms. Tadevich's favorite wines were to taste. The book is beautifully illustrated with a combination of photographs, maps and artistic renderings of the locales.

   If you don't know much about wine, the basics are explained in the book in reference to the wines of Oregon. You will find out how to read a label, taste a wine, and what foods go well with each wine. There are also references to places to stay and eat, since only one of the wineries has a restaurant in it.

   While many wine guides tend to be on the snooty side, this one is very friendly and recounts the fine experiences of speaking with the people who work at the wineries.

   You will also find places to make notes on what you thought of the wines so you can order them again after you visit is over.

   Oregon is a wonderful place to visit, so make plans to go there and take this guide along with you!

   Where else have you not yet tasted wines? I found the experience of eating chocolates filled with champagne in France to be a tasty way to cool off with a little snack. I had no idea such tidbits existed until I went there. You probably also have nice surprises ahead.
