[John Orman · Rating 4 out of 5]

This large-format entry in the Great American Road Trip series has a great format of map pages facing the trip description pages. Very comprehensive too--over 800 destinations on the Lewis and Clark Trail, including a guide to all 573 L&C Historic Campsites.


I was mainly interested in the Co.umbia River Gorge and Oregon Coast sections, but this book pretty much spans the whole country. Great maps and illustrations.
