A rockhound's guide to Oregon & Washington

A rockhound's guide to Oregon & Washington

Alison Jean Cole
Book - 2025

"Alison Jean Cole has carefully selected 60 top sites and guides readers to such finds as agates and jaspers in Washington's Cascades and Oregon's Blue Mountain, petrified wood and leaf fossils in the Owyhee Uplands, or jades and marbles in the North Cascades and southeastern Oregon. A Rockhound's Guide to Oregon & Washington emphasizes that rockhounding is about quality not quantity. Readers will find thorough explanations of federal and state collecting rules, rockhounding ethics, as well as a framework for a tread-lightly ethos. A section on tools and preparedness guides the beginning collector, and a glossary of terms is a helpful resource for all budding geologists. In addition to detailed information on where exactly to begin a rock hunt, every location features an overview of the area's geologic history and age, what types of rocks are worth finding there, needed tools, land manager, and collection limits. Clear driving directions with GPS coordinates, road quality and trip safety information, best season to go, and an informative map round out each description"--
