About This Book

A motor-travel narrative that records rambles through eastern Oregon and the mountain-studded regions of northern California, emphasizing lesser-known roads and vistas rather than major cities. The author guides readers along routes to Crater and Klamath Lakes, the Deschutes River canyon, the Columbia River Highway, the Willamette and Rogue valleys, coastal redwoods, and onward into Yosemite, with a further run to the Roosevelt Dam and the Petrified Forest. Practical route notes are combined with evocative descriptions of lakes, forests, canyons, towns, and roadside features. A map and numerous photographic plates supplement the text, offering visual orientation and encouragement for personal exploration.
