Mad Maps: Washington and Oregon

You've been asking for this one...and now it's here! Our long-awaited touring map of the Northwest features the 28 best scenic tours of this majestic region. We put our local MAD scouts to work to find the secret roads of their home states, and they did a fantastic job.

Check out the breathtaking (and windy) Columbia Gorge and its spectacular waterfalls. Loop around the Olympic Peninsula and explore its Victorian towns. Make a sweep of the scenic San Juan Islands. And did we mention the spectacular trio of Mount Saint Helens, Mount Rainier and Mount Hood? There's even Crater Lake, with water a shade of blue we promise you'll never forget.

Our detailed turn-by-turn directions let you sit back and enjoy the drive, but you will want to stop along the way at the attractions, eateries and outdoor locales we've pointed out. It's all here, from cheesemaking facilities and hot springs to incredible sand dunes and nightlife. And for a bit of local color, we have plenty of our It's a MAD World quirky stories of the area.

Forget about the rain - these roads reign supreme.
