"It's hard to argue that your average travel writer could capture the essence of a place as well as Chandler O'Leary does with her [. . .] watercolor artwork." - Fast Company
"Not just an indispensable guide to the West Coast, this is a beautiful, one-of-a-kind love letter to some of my favorite places in the world." - Geraldine Deruiter, founder of Everywhereist.com
Chock-full of unusual facts, hidden history, roadside attractions, and Americana, this offbeat road trip through California, Oregon, and Washington highlights the natural beauty along the shore while also connecting the traveler to major cities and other attractions. Along the way, it tells a story of the diversity and depth that created the West Coast we know and love today, showcasing both the ever-changing present and vestiges of the past for those who slow down to look.
