IOWA: Off the Beaten Path,
By A Customer
This review is from: Off the Beaten Path Iowa (Paperback)
This is a wonderful book for traveling in Iowa. I am an Iowa resident, and found some very interesting information within the covers of this book. I would highly recommend it to anyone who desires to learn more about the hidden treasures in the heart of the midwest.

Only in Iowa,
By "taylormailer" (St. Louis, MO USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Iowa Off the Beaten Path: A Guide to Unique Places (Paperback)
I just returned from an 8 day driving tour of the great state of Iowa. I purchased two books for the trip but relied on this one. It was a great resource and a good read besides. Starting from the west heading south then east and finally north, this guide was invaluable book of knowledge that made my road trip an experience to remember. I plan on purchasing the "Off the Beaten Path" version for my own home state and take weekend trips to see if Missouri can rival Iowa in charm and hospitality!
