内容简介

Discover more than 200 waterfalls throughout Oregon and Washington's most scenic, unique, and diverse landscapes.

Photographer David L. Anderson has hiked many miles of the Pacific Coast, Oregon Cascades, Washington Cascades, eastern Oregon, and eastern Washington to find these regions' most spectacular waterfalls.

Overview chapters on Pacific Northwest climate, geology, photography, and basic hiking tips prepare readers for their treks to the falls, while each of the falls' descriptions includes directions for how to get there; the USGS topographic map quad; hike distance; falls' source, height, and volume; and suggestions for the best time of year to visit. Regional maps showing the locations of each of the falls are also included. Distances range from easy walks of a few hundred yards to strenuous 10-mile hikes, to accommodate any level of hiking ability. 50 maps, 100 black & white photographs, index.
