Lonely Planet Pacific Northwest Trips (Regional Travel Guide) ReviewI live in the Pacific Northwest wine country and prior to that in the Portland area so I was curious if this book would be helpful to send along with visitors to our area. If the Washington wine section is any indication of the others, the areas covered are very cursory which maybe they have to be when covering an entire region. The book is a great idea but would benefit from a few tweaks to it.
This book does well in the more remote areas of the northwest where sites are fewer and therefore the book can be all encompassing. For example, the Prehistoric Trip is one we took a few years back and this book does a good job of covering that area thoroughly.

If you are heading to Portland or Seattle and have a very short time to see as much as you can, this book can be a real asset. If you want a lot of detailed information, you need a book that covers that city more specifically.
The biggest problem with this book is that a lot of the places the book recommends visiting require another resource to find. The maps in the book might get you to the general area but you definitely need a better map or a computer to access the locales website for directions. The book directs you to its own site at www.lonelyplanet.com/trip-planner but I found the site difficult to use for specific trips; searching "Wenatchee, Washington," one of this books trip destinations, resulted in "0 results" likewise with "Prehistoric Oregon Trip" another trip suggested in the book.

Also, I am a visual person so a picture now and then in the book would make it more appealing.
It is a handy little resource that would work well for day trips but it has its limits.Lonely Planet Pacific Northwest Trips (Regional Travel Guide) Overview
