Pacific High: Adventures in the Coast Ranges from Baja to Alaska

Rating:
Summary: Adventure and Thoughts
Review: Great book. Who says we have to travel to far away places for adventure? Tim Palmer had what for most of us would be a lifetime of adventures on this 9 month journey. At the same time the people he introduces us to and the observations he shares about all that he sees will make any reader think harder about our place on and responsibilities to this world.

Summary: A fun and meaningful journey
Review: Pacific High is a wonderful blend of adventure, travel, natural history, personal reflection, and investigation of environmental issues that the author discovers as he makes his way from Baja to Alaska on a 9 month journey. The book offers a great way to become acquainted with the familiar-though little known Coast Range mountains that Palmer points out are in view of the west coast's biggest cities. And it is refreshingly well-written! The book has certainly inspired me to get to know the coast mountains in my own part of the range better.
