Moon Oregon Handbook

Moon Oregon (Moon Handbooks) This book was the best thing I could have purchased prior to spending 3 weeks on the road touring Oregon this past September. I like how the book doesn't just highlight the most popular places to stay or eat. We tried a couple of small cafes for breakfast that were recommended and were completely satisfied with the reviews given for both. Highly recommend this handbook for anyone wishing to travel in Oregon.

Great Guide To Oregon

MOON OREGON is one of the most comprehensive guides to Oregon ever published. Whether you're looking for the urban pleasures of the Portland area and/or the Eugene/Corvallis/Salem corridor, the healthy activity ideas of Eastern Oregon or the Oregon Coast, or a little of everything, this book has it for you. Even if you're not travelling to Oregon any time soon, you'll find MOON OREGON to be an interesting and exciting read.

For the nature lover in you

This is a good book for those that plan to spend most of their trip on the trail, or in the national, state, and local parks. It is also great for those that like to stay in a nice hotel and look out their windows at nature and wonder what's out there. In this way, the book should be an addition to your information that you gather before going to Oregon. Frommers is a good companion book. Between the two should give you enough information to make good decisions on where to stay, where to eat, and what to see. It is an accurate guide with resources for more information. We went to Oregon and stayed in just about every lodging type there is - hotel, motel, lodge, b & b, vacation home, and cabin. Moon was a handy companion the whole time.

Resourceful

I have purchased Moon Handbooks in the past for other out-of-state trips I've taken, and found them to be extremely helpful. In fact, I've been so pleased w/ the content that I now use them to research and help me plan my trip. Aside from having great information on lodging, restaurants, and parks, the historical background is also very accurate and helpful. While they don't go into a great deal of historical depth, the authors are very knowledgeable and give you enough history to help you decide if you want to learn more. From a handbook, I feel that's all you can expect. Overall, I rate this Handbook very highly. I appreciate the discount lodging section, and have been able to stay in many <$50/night motels which are both clean and well-maintained. I've also purchased the Moon Handbooks for Montana and Washington in the past, and they've also been excellent.
