• This unique natural history and travel guide to one of the premier eco-tourism destinations in North America explores the wildlife and natural beauty of Northwestern Washington State and Southwestern British Columbia. This region abounds with exceptional marine and terrestial habitats - from open ocean and island-dotted sounds to temperate rainforest and glacier-covered mountains.
• Researched and written for travellers of all ages and abilities, this Guidebook explores the most popular ferry and road routes of the region. Practical yet informative descriptions of the routes are organized around natural habitats focusing on what an average traveller can expect to see.
• Like most visitors to this region, this adventure Guidebook travels on both sides of the Canada/U.S.A. border. Using 25 colour maps with accompanying itineraries, the authors describe easily accessible sites to view the flora and fauna, and the breathtaking beauty of the Olympic Peninsula, Puget Sound and San Juan Islands (Washington State); and Vancouver Island, Strait of Georgia and the Gulf Islands (British Columbia).
• Beautifully produced, yet able to fit in a jacket pocket or handbag, the Guidebook contains 300 colour photos of birds, mammals, marine wildlife, flowers and trees, each labelled to assist in identification.
