About This Book

The author recounts a coastal and inland journey along the North American Pacific seaboard, traveling from Alaskan glaciers and fjords through the Pacific Northwest to California and the Yellowstone region. Vivid descriptions and photographs render icefields, waterfalls, volcanic peaks, forests, fertile valleys, farms and vineyards, and rugged coastal settlements, while visits to mining towns, forts, and mission sites provide historical context. The account blends observational travel notes, natural-history detail, and impressions of local landscape and culture, moving chapter by chapter through scenic highlights and practical experiences encountered en route.
