Synopsis

Forty classic rides through the region's quintessential scenes

*

With its spectacular and varied scenes, no other region of America can best the Pacific Northwest when it comes to motorcycle touring―whether a Sunday afternoon ride with friends or a multiday adventure. Now, with Motorcycle Touring in the Pacific Northwest, bikers have an unparalleled guide describing forty classic rides across the quintessential landscapes of Oregon, Washington, and Vancouver/British Columbia―from the rugged Pacific coast to breathtaking islands, from rain forests to deserts, from the Cascades to the Rockies.

In friendly prose peppered with anecdotes, sidebars, and interesting asides, Christy Karras and Steve Zusy describe the routes―most representing a day's worth of riding―and include a map for each, color photographs, and details aplenty on road conditions and terrain, sites worth stopping for, amenities, and side trips.
