Library Journal Review
With road trip season upon us, vacationers looking for a weekend drive in Washington, Oregon, or British Columbia will enjoy this book. Trips generally last one to three days (though a few are as long as a week), and most have options for extending the drive by linking trips. Despite the many options, the book is simple to navigate. A "Highlights" section helps drivers select trips based on preferences for sights or activities. In addition, each trip begins with a one-page overview. Like others in the series, this book focuses on general routes with a few key stops or sights. Cultural and historical descriptions are limited, and the entries on restaurants, hotels, and transit are short and not always reliable. Drivers will likely need to supplement this book with more in-depth guides and maps. Verdict Readers intending to explore the Pacific Northwest by car (or armchair) could fill a few hours or an entire summer with this book, but it is not a replacement for traditional travel guides.-Audrey Barbakoff, Kitsap Regional Lib., Bainbridge Island, WA (c) Copyright 2013.
