From the Back Cover
Tired of the same old tourist traps? Take the road less traveled and discover the hidden attractions, unique finds, and unusual locales other guidebooks just don't offer. Off the Beaten Path® features the things you’d want to see—if only you knew about them! From the best in local dining to quirky cultural tidbits, you’ll say over and over again: "I didn’t know that!"
Whether you're a visitor or a local looking for something different, Arizona Off the Beaten Path will show you the Grand Canyon State you never knew existed. Go trail walking through the verdant Patagonia-Sonoita Creek Preserve, pan for gold in Goldfield Ghost Town, or celebrate Native American food, music, art, and dance at the Pinetop-Lakeside annual festival. So if you've "been there, done that" one too many times, get off the main road and venture Off the Beaten Path.

This review is from: Arizona Off the Beaten Path, 6th (Off the Beaten Path Series) (Paperback)
Based on the 5th edition's cover artwork, a beautiful slot canyon, and the suggestive title, "Off the Beaten Path", I bought this dog. Nope it's not a guide to secret natural wonders nor a hiking guide, but a cutesy, fluffy guide to hipper parts of the state. Particularly useless was the tip to the DASH, Phoenix's Downtown Area SHuttle, or the Dinnerware Gallery. Not a slot canyon in the book. Yawn.

Useless Travel Guide,
By bay area traveller "traveller" (bay area, CA, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Arizona Off the Beaten Path, 6th (Off the Beaten Path Series) (Paperback)
I bought this guide before going back to Tucson for a 2nd visit, thinking it might tell me something I hadn't found in Frommer's or Fodor's. It was a waste of money. The few things that were really "off the beaten track" no longer existed or perhaps never had existed.
