This is a beautiful book with gorgeous pictures. Makes you want to hop in the car and go. I don’t fly and I’m glad. You see so much more riding in the car. This is a beautiful country. I’m so thankful my husband likes to drive.
I would recommend The Most Scenic Drives in America to anyone who has a love of travelling. There are over 102 scenic drives described in this 300 plus page book. Covering each of the fifty states, these drives are detailed thouroughly with colorful pictures and interesting descriptions. Each drive is divided into numbers, and each of these numbers represents a key point on the trip. From beginning to end, whether it’s the table of contents or the basic travel tips, this book makes the reader want to jump out of his seat and hit the road. The Most Scenic Drives in America is definitely a must if you are planning a driving excursion anywhere in the United States
The book has so many beautiful pictures of the picturesque places to drive in the US it made me want to jump in the car and go. Well, I did when I was in Massachusetts. I drove on the historic Mohawk Trail on my way to Williamstown, MA and let me tell you how breathtaking it really was. Take your kids on these drives for historical experience that’s not only fun but also awe inspired.
A sage once told me “A journey should be meticulously planned, yet organically executed”. Truer advice I’ve never been given; serendipity SHOULD rule your travels. HOWEVER, you gotta start somewhere, and this wonderful book is the portal to possibilities. It’ll bring out the wanderlust in anyone. I’m giving it to my parents for Christmas. My only quibble is that the thumbnail sketches are too, well, sketchy. I suppose further depth would have produced a book of unworkable size.
