Good Book worth the money - quick delivery

I bought this guide for a family “waterfall chase” through central Oregon. SO GLAD I DID!! You can get a lot of info online about hikes, but this is an excellent, thorough resource that gave me more detailed info when planning our trip. Plus, when too much snow on the roads canceled some of our plans, and we had no signal on our cell phones, THIS GUIDE was a huge help in making other plans! There are (color!) pictures of most of the waterfalls mentioned, which is also super helpful in determining which to visit. A great guide!

Amazing book to have you won’t be disappointed.

Great book shows wonderful places to go to.

Good maps and good descriptions of trail conditions for each waterfall. What is sadly lacking is the caliber of photos provided for each waterfall. They look like someone pulled out a point and shoot camera and took all of 10 seconds to snap a shot of the waterfall. If you want to get a sense of the photographic potential of any of these waterfalls you will need to go online. The author states that he wanted to show the waterfalls in a natural manner. Frankly this is a lame excuse for his laziness. Many photographers would donate their images for a book such as this if they were merely given credit for the image. The author states that he did no processing of the digital images with Photoshop and this is also obvious to the extreme. What he fails to understand is that in the days of film cameras an image would be exposed by the photographer and then a lab would do the development of the film and make the prints. With a digital camera the image files created also need to be 34;developed34; to be able to show any scene in a realistic manner. I bought this book as an aid in trip planning but with the terrible pictures provided it provides little real help in this regard. This is one book that should not have been printed but produced as an e-book with links to an image repository that could be updated over time. I read reviews by others before purchasing this book and comments about the great pictures. I cannot believe anyone could honestly consider a single image to be of passable quality so have to question the honesty of the reviewer.
