Product Description

Pacific Coast HighwayBefore gridlocked freeways and jumbo jets, the West Coast was a region of friendly towns and secluded coves, with 1,800 miles of winding and scenic roadway. It still is!Join Tom Snyder for another two-land adventure--from California's strands and the tumbled shoreline of Oregon, through Washington's lush rain forests. Detailed directions make traveling either up or down the coast easy.Explore more than 390 special plaes, like Port Townsend, where Snow Falling on Cedars and An Officer and a Gentleman were filmed.Discover over 100 restaurants and romantic hideaways, from pizza parlors to a cozy inn with a wine list of 2,000 vintages.Find near-secret beaches, where you can still park free right along the old highway and wade straight into the ocean.

Customer Reviews

book: Pacific Coast Highway5

I was very happy with my purchase. The book was like brand new, just as it was described and the price was more than reasonable.

Disappointed1
I purchased this book because it said it was a photographic tour -- it's anything but that! I expected pictures of places all along the coast and the entire book is in black & white with hardly any pictures.

Pretty good tool if you get a companion guide with it4
The one quibble I have with this book is that Amazon shows it as "(Photographic Tour)" but the book doesn't reflect that in any way other than having a few so-so black and white photos. It's true; the book doesn't have much in the way of phone numbers or hours of operation information but it is a great descriptive guide of places you don't want to miss, giving you background information and other details you probably won't find anywhere else. It also guides you to more detailed sources of information about many of the areas. I found it to be very useful in planning a honeymoon trip, and having lived in Southern California, I also found it to be an accurate depiction of the area.
