With the growing interest in adventure travel, national parks, hip cities, and wine and micro-breweries, the Pacific Northwest attracts a huge number of visitors every year. Besieged by the icy monotony of seemingly endless months of snow and slush, the prospect of going off somewhere in the bright sunshine with the kids when they’re out of school looms as, quite literally, a life saver.

Also, I must admit, my deliberations were influenced by the experiences I had while researching The Floor of Heaven , my new non-fiction book that follows a cowboy turned Pinkerton detective as he goes off to solve a puzzling and dangerous case during the Yukon Gold Rush. And to guide me on this incipient journey, to help me plan it over the long, snowy months, I delved into the new 18th edition of Fodor’s Pacific Northwest . And the orange stars are the sort of “must see” alert that, along with the easy-to-read maps, make planning both simple and filled with great expectations of what’s to come.
