5.0 out of 5 stars
One of the best travel guides you'll ever buy!,
By
This review is from: Day Trips from Phoenix, Tucson, and Flagstaff, 7th: Getaways Less than Two Hours Away (Paperback)
This book is filled with great suggestions of places to go and things to see/do. It's extremely well organized and filled our week in Tucson with adventure and fun. We hardly ever even traveled the same road twice, there were so many listings. We'd tried the "standards" and found them lacking. There were so many areas around the city of Tucson we'd never heard of, and this book helped us organize our time and travel, although some of the day trips are truly impossible to complete in a day. In fact, we spent most of our time in Tucson outside of Tucson (if that makes any sense). A truly fantastic area guided by a truly fantastic book. If this author has written more books of the same ilk, I'll gladly buy them and enjoy.

What a Great Book!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Day Trips from Phoenix, Tucson, and Flagstaff: Getaways Less Than Two Hours Away (Paperback)
The book is very informative and gives you lots of options to choose from. Each section opens up with a map drawing the starting location and all the stops you would make along that perticular trip. There are complete driving directions to help you along the way. It is very easy to combine parts of different trips to suite your own interests, if you desire something different than what is already listed. Another good thing about this book is that it has listings of places to stay, where to eat, and when festivals occur(listed by month.) The descriptions of places to visit include whether or not it is for the casual observer or experienced hiker/climber. I love this book. If you are going to Arizonia, don't pass this book up. It will lead you in the right direction!!

Day Trips from Phoenix, Tucson, and Flagstaff, 8th edition,
This review is from: Day Trips from Phoenix, Tucson, and Flagstaff, 8th (Day Trips Series) (Paperback)
Excellent guide for planning day trips for our vacation to Arizona. More information contained in the book than I was able to find on-line after doing lots of searches. We are planning to stay in Flagstaff, and we have already planned out several day trips in advance. I'm sure we'll get a chance to see some places that we probably would have missed if we had not purchased this book.
