Tony Huegel's Backcountry Byways Series
by Art Bernstein
75 Scenic Drives in the Cascades
and Siskiyous, Canyons and Coast
Discover Oregon's Backcountry Roads
Art Bernstein has blazed the trail on 75 great
adventure drives. In Oregon Byways, he describes the
state's varied topography, geology, human and natural history, as well as
the routes. Whether you are planning a family vacation or an
overnight getaway, you can choose among trips ranging from four to 64
miles, all described with driving directions, information on camping,
water supply, backcountry driving, and the nearest amenities.
- Follow Succor Creek through a remote desert canyon to the red-rock
spires of Leslie Gulch and the Owyhee Reservoir
- Climb to 9700 feet on Steens Mountain Road, the highest road in
Oregon, to take in a breathtaking view of the Alvord Desert
- Take the challenging journey into Hells Canyon, 2000 feet deeper
than the Grand Canyon
- Wander through pastoral Millicoma River Valley to Golden and Silver
falls, tumbling hundreds of feet over sandstone outcrops
Customized maps help you wend the way. Updated with current
information about forests and other areas that were severely burned in the
2002 Biscuit Fire.

Praise for Tony Huegel's series
Backcountry Drives for the Whole Family
"...well organized and presented ...one of the best guides of its
type around." Open Road
Magazine
"Author Tony Huegel has ... produced some of the best guides that
we've ever seen for those who really want to get away with the whole
family. [His Byways Series] all offer concise directions, clear maps
and excellent advice on how to get the most out of your off-road
adventure." Motor Week
(Maryland Public television)
"Huegel's attention to seemingly every detail and his sincere goal
of wanting to make outdoor adventure a family activity set his guidebook
apart and make it a joy to read. Every page is infused with the
excitement the author obviously feels for the great American
wilderness." 4Wheel Drive and
Sport Utility Magazine
