Product Description The all-in-one trip planner and travel guide--now totally revised and updated--will steer you down the most scenic road every time.

Amazon.com Review Taking a drive in the country has been popular since horse-and-buggy days. But while the road trip itch is as strong as ever, scenic drives get scarcer year by year. The answer is a collection of the 120 loveliest drives in the U.S., providing maps and tours (with sites along the way itemized and lovingly described), trip length, when to go, nearby attractions, and local information sources. Free time is at a premium these days; rather than waste your leisure time in highway gluts, it's worth taking directions to some of the most beautiful drives the country still has to offer.

Ready to hit the road! March 9, 2010 M. P. Kight (Jacksonville, FL USA) A friend loaned the book to me and after I started looking at it, I ordered it immediately. She has used it and said it was a great guide on the Natchez trip. Soon as the weather turns, we hit the road!
Great Photos February 1, 2010 Henry C. Chapman (White Plains, NY) This book is a pretty good idea generator if you're in the planning stages of a trip. My wife and I are planning a 25th anniversary trip and decided to see a bit of the US rather than going abroad. The book is helpful to get you thinking about possibilities. I know of some of the trips they recommend and they are nice. It's an excellent coffee table book.
Nice read January 30, 2010 JW (Earth) Nice coffee Table book, nice read for my log home customers when they come by and visit.
THE MOST SCENIC DRIVES IN AMERICA December 22, 2009 Barbara G. Phillips I NEVER KNEW SOME OF THESE PLACES EXISTED. I AM VERY EXCITED TO START OUR JOURNEY ACROSS AMERICA. THANKS TO THIS BOOK WE WILL BE ABLE TO SEE MANY MANY BEAUTIFUL AND INTERESTING PLACES.
Best Book to Explore and Discover North America September 9, 2009 Sally Nicholls (Australia) As Australians traveling throughout the States in a motorhome, we found this book invaluable. Whilst there are plenty of other travel books, The Most Scenic Drives in America gave us a concise and unbiased overview of what to see in every State, without all the advertising about where to eat and what to buy. A "Must Have" book, and a great souvenir of our travels.
