Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Few states can boast of the diversity of landscape to be found in Oregon. Eons of geologic force, and today's and tomorrow's weather, combine to provide the extreme contrasts one experiences in traveling Oregon's breadth. The state is best experienced along its scenic byways and backroads.

Scenic Driving Oregon celebrates these riches. Whether you're contemplating a day's drive through Oregon wine country or a week-long tour to sample the mountains, the rain forests, the high desert, the legendary rivers, and the enchanting coastline, you'll find helpful guidance in the FalconGuide.

Written by outdoor travel writer Tom Barr, Scenic Driving Oregon, formerly Oregon Scenic Drives, describes 50 wonderful routes throughout the state. Each description provides information on travel services, camping, the best seasons, special attractions, and historical points of interest.

Detailed maps and black-and-white photos complement each description, and eight pages of stunning color photos tempt you to sample Oregon's scenic wealth.

Synopsis:

Pack up the car and enjoy fifty drives through some of the most spectacular scenery in the Beaver State. This indispensable highway companion maps out short trips for exploring scenic byways and back roads along the Pacific Coast and magnificent Columbia River Gorge. Experience unspoiled wilderness, fertile farmlands, vineyards, orchards, and deserts filled with sagebrush. Oregon is a state of geographic contrasts created by eons of geological force - from the rocky shore to the high desert. Discover the wonders of this varied landscape, and enjoy skiing, fishing, boating, and historical attractions and museums along the way.

Inside youll find:

• Individual itineraries from 3 to 325 miles in length

• In-depth descriptions of drive highlights, such as covered bridges, lighthouses, antiques shops, and campgrounds

• Route maps for each drive

• Historical information and suggested side trips

Synopsis:

Discover a diverse landscape and enchanting coastline on these forty-five drives along Oregon's scenic byways and backroads. This book helps travelers discover Oregon's wine country, rain forests, high desert, and legendary rivers.
