Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

Tired of the same old tourist traps? Take the road less traveled and uncover 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!”
Discover a different side of the Hawkeye State. Try Jet Karting with vehicles imported from Italy at the Iowa International Raceway. Sample the history—and delectable dishes—of Dubuque with the Victorian House Tour and Progressive Dinner. Or enjoy the rebirth of the Iowa wine industry with a trip along the Iowa Wine Trail. So if you’ve “been there, done that” one too many times, get off the main road and venture Off the Beaten Path.
