Seashores, snow-capped mountains, old-growth forests, and visitor-friendly cities have made the Pacific Northwest one of the most popular RV and tent-camping destinations in North America, and this guide directs the way to more than 130 camping destinations throughout Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia. Combining the functions of a camp directory and a sightseeing guide, each of the expanded number of entries describes a vacation spot and its attractions and recommends good camping in the area, including both privately owned and state and county campgrounds. Updated, detailed maps of each destination show the location of campgrounds and tourist sites, as well as exact routes for drivers of large RVs.

Canoe country's most up-to-date guide.
Located west of Lake Superior on the Canada-U.S. border and known to countless thousands of paddlers simply as "Canoe Country," Quetico Provincial Park is Ontario's second-largest wilderness park. It connects to the United States via the Boundary Waters Canoe Area, mainland America's largest protected tract of wilderness. The area receives over 200,000 visitors a year.
Kevin Callan is a renowned paddling personality, and his new book describes 10 of Quetico's best trips, plus five adventurous excursions to destinations just beyond the park's boundaries. Trips range from weekend recreational paddles to 10-day multi-lake loops, and there is something for every skill level. All route maps are original and up to date, correcting many of the common errors found in other publications.
One could spend a lifetime paddling the waters of Quetico Provincial Park, with its more than 600 lakes and five major rivers. And with an average portage length of only 435 yards, it's all about the paddling.

An extraordinary look at twenty public parks in a number of major cities in North America and Western Europe. Every city park has a history. But the book is not a historical study. It is based on the principle that parks, like cities, are constantly developing and are never completed. It reflects a belief that well-planned, well-designed and well-managed parks remain invaluable components of cities today. Each park's origins, designers, design principles, current management and use, and proposals for future use are covered in the text. The text is based on extensive site visits and interviews with managing organizations and is supplemented with newly drawn plans and color photos.
