Description

Ghost Towns of the Pacific Northwest is a guidebook to the most productive boomtowns of Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia. Once thriving centers for mining, fishing, logging, and national defense, these abandoned camps and pioneer villages still ring with history. At the present time, these ghost towns are one of the vital best places to trip to, filled with fun things to do and see.
 
Ghost town expert Philip Varney equips you with the whole lot you wish to have to know to explore these remnants of the past. Featuring color maps, driving and walking directions, town histories, touring recommendations, and stunning color photography, Ghost Towns of the Pacific Northwest details famous sites such as Port Gamble (Washington), Fort Steele (British Columbia), and Jacksonville (Oregon) — along with out-of-the-way gems like Holden (Washington), Sandon (British Columbia), and Flora (Oregon).
 
Chasing down the ghost towns of the Pacific Northwest will take you from the seacoast high into the forests of the Cascade Range. You’ll view the magnificent Columbia River as it passes through Revelstoke, British Columbia, to its first entry into the USA in Northport, Washington, and to its dramatic meeting with the Pacific Ocean near Astoria, Oregon. See the region as you have never seen it before with this crucial guidebook to the glory days of the Pacific Northwest!
