Klappentext

Washington State, from east to west, can boast some of the most diverse and breathtaking scenery in the country. Twenty-five carefully selected drives offer a sampling of this variety. Choose from challenging mountain drives with glorious vistas, a peaceful pastoral excursion through the state's southeastern farm country, and a loop through the rain forest of Olympic National Park. Aptly named Mosquito Lake Road, on the way to Mt. Baker, is a special curiosity.

The twenty-five scenic routes showcase Olympic, North Cascades, and Rainier national parks, Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument, and the Columbia River Gorge, Yakima Valley, and much more. Authors, Steve Giordano and Lynn Rosen, add local insight about the people, the diverse climate, and the history that make the Evergreen State unique. The drive descriptions provide additional information about camping, the best travel seasons, and special attractions along the way. Also included are detailed maps and nearly two hundred intriguing color photos. Be sure to take along Scenic Driving Washington on your next outing.
