Hidden Oregon: Including Portland, the Coast, Cascades and Columbia River Gorge

Book Description
Oregon possesses all the beauty and sophistication of its more famous neighbors, California and Washington, but without the pretense, crowds, and corporate influences. As more and more travelers discover the state, with its abundance of natural resources, performing arts festivals, and restored historic monuments, it's fast becoming a favorite West Coast destination. Like other Hidden titles, Hidden Oregon takes readers to countless popular spots then invites them to go further by exploring "hidden" places other guides overlook. Readers get clued in to art museums in Portland, vineyards near Salem, and romantic inns along the coast. They learn where they can trek through old-growth forests, scan the coast for migrating whales, and soak their road-weary bones in mineral hot springs. Off-the-beaten-track recommendations include over a dozen one-of-a-kind B and Bs, 24 covered bridges and 15 microbreweries. Outdoor suggestions abound, with descriptions of 18 great beaches, 85 parks and wilderness areas offering camping, hiking, rafting, and boating.
