About this title

Review:

The Pacific Northwest is a premier spot for waterfall viewing, and with this guidebook you'll soon be feasting your eyes and ears on--or maybe getting wet under--your choice of the many cascades, horsetails, and punchbowls this region has to offer. Arranged in 14 sections, ranging from northern Washington to southern Idaho, A Waterfall Lover's Guide to the Pacific Northwest provides listings for literally hundreds of places where water ribbons down awe-inspiring mountains and cliffs in a wide variety of pristine settings. To make decisions about which areas to visit a little easier, each waterfall is starred one to five (five being the most spectacular) and given an accessibility rating. For instance, the car symbol and a two-star grade for Pegleg Falls in the Oregon Cascades indicates that the falls do not require a four-wheel drive vehicle, a stroll, or an extended hike to get to, and they are "Pretty ... nice background for a picnic," falling short of "good" (three stars), "very good" (four stars), and "exceptional" (five stars). The author provides several possibilities within each subregion, making "waterfall bagging" a very tempting pursuit.
