Summaries and Customer Reviews provided by Amazon
SummaryTaking 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. |

Best Book to Explore and Discover North America
Rating:
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.
An Outstanding, Very Beautiful, Very Thorough and Informative Book; Highly Recommended
Rating:
There are several excellent reasons to invest in this outstanding book. First it's an excellent reference guide that can assist us in getting the most out of our vacation plans and travel decisions. Every one of the 120 highway / road trip covered in this 400 page book includes several stunning and outstanding quality pictures plus a brief synopsis of the area, a map and short descriptions of numerous interesting stops to check out on our jaunts, oh, and trip tips also. This beautiful book would have been tremendously beneficial before our recent 7 state trip because SO MUCH excellent information and insight is given; we would have made far better route choices than our atlas and various web sites had recommended as supposedly `scenic routes'.
Even more importantly, the purchaser will be prone to use and enjoy this beautiful, extremely interesting coffee table book much more than our houseguests or office visitors will (BUT don't let them borrow it!). It's laid out perfectly for reading a little bit during TV commercials or during a quick break from my daily tasks. So with only a short amounts of rare spare time I've been getting to know quite a bit about these awesome area 's of America. And I've already acquired quite a bit more knowledge about these impressive blessings that are scattered all across our little splotch of this awesome mother earth.
To address / challenge the first reviewer's unfortunate event of bad Karma. With SO MUCH to see and do all along these 120 awesome road trips, I really doubt if most persons would expect ALL of the flower-fields, buildings, hotels, camp grounds, historic markers or turn-outs to remain unchanged for all of eternity. Change is the only constant in life but these phenomenal highways will STILL remain gorgeous, unforgettable life experiences for a few more centuries; if we can't visit them all, I suggest that we can at least experience them from an excellent books like this one.
Great Scenic Drives
Rating:
Upon first opening the book I checked to see if some
of my favorite drives were included and for the most
part they were. I do have some favorites that weren't
included but I still think that this book is well
worth buying. I will be taking it on future trips.
Gift for retired parents:)
Rating:
I bought this book for my parents who are retired to inspire them to explore the country. They haven't used it yet but it was a beautiful present and seemed filled with adventures for them to have someday.

The Most Scenic Drives in America: 120 Spectacular Road TripsThe very 1st place that we were suggested to stay no longer exists.
So it is hard to review a book until one has tested its facts. So I will not be able to review the book until the journey is over. So I gave it the lowest rating.....it will have to earn a higher one! LPS
