This is an important update to the very popular first edition. Hansen's enthusiasm for motorcycle exploration comes through in this full-colour, fully-detailed tribute and guide to the great roads of America's Northwest. Both visitors to the region and life-time 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 tank bag map window; over 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 volcanoes of Mt Saint 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 hills, inlets, islands, and valleys that make the American Northwest a favourite among motorcycle enthusiasts.
