Washington and Oregon are often thought of as a wet green area, and indeed, a lot of it is. After all, Washington is known as the Evergreen State. However, a large part of the area lying east of the Cascade Range is desert or near desert, albeit much of that area is irrigated for agricultural purposes. East of the Cascades takes the reader on a photographic journey through that region in a county-by-county manner. The journey starts in the Columbia River Gorge then heads north to the Canadian border then back south, eventually landing in the southeastern corner of Washington. Crossing into Oregon, the travel path works its way west to the Cascades then south and east, ending in Malheur County in southeastern Oregon. Several photographs from each county traversed are included. Brief historical facts and other information of interest for each county are included with each set of county photographs. While not intended to be a travel guide, the book gives the reader a feeling for the sights and terrain to be seen throughout eastern and central Washington and Oregon.
