Good
Also some nice maps came along with this book, which is handy. I would have liked this book to be more intra-regional and do more talking about the green zones around the metropolitan area but as far as detailing what's what in Portland itself, I have no criticism.

Useful and worthy for trip purposes
I was hoping for more information on the outlying areas around Portland but the lowdown on Portland was useful, especially highlighting the important "musts" as well as providing decent maps for pre-planning. I picked this up thinking it would be a good idea to brush up on what is good to see in Portland since we only had a few days.

Positives - Decent maps, good ideas, perfect for a short trip.
Improvements - needed more information on day trips outside of Portland, especially since Portland is short distance from major attractions and there wasn't good discussion of distances and time needed to travel like other sections.
