Both visitors to the region and lifetime locals will enjoy and learn from the exciting trips that Hansen has planned and perfected. This book, designed from top to bottom for motorcyclists, includes: relief maps for each trip, section, and chapter; photocopy-able spreads with detailed maps and directions for easy placement in a tankbag map window; more than 30 great trips that span 5 states and parts of Canada and include the twistiest, most scenic roads the Northwest has to offer; and the best places to eat, sleep, and pitch your tent.

Hansen guides motorcyclists through the areas around Seattle and Portland, up and down the coasts of Washington and Oregon and northern California; around the volcanos of Mt. St. Helens, Mt. Hood, and Mt. Rainier; across the desert of Oregon; out to the San Juan Islands; and even into parts of British Columbia.

Riders will see everything from the most interesting places in the region's history, to the the hills, inlets, islands, and valleys that make the American Northwest a favorite among motorcycle enthusiasts.
