4.0 out of 5 stars Arizona off the beaten path, May 2, 2000

This review is from: Arizona Off the Beaten Path: A Guide to Unique Places (Paperback)

For a travel book this is very well organized with all the phone numbers and major costs given. Good maps and pictures. Nice commentaries also. You almost get a sense of being there just by reading little paragraphs.

This review is from: Arizona Off the Beaten Path, 4th: A Guide to Unique Places (Paperback)

Off the beaten path. ALl are worthy

of three-and-a-half stars. Only dis-

agreement with them is stupid Evolu-

tion references in them. Thousands,

Hundreds of thousands, millions of

year, no sack! Each written by diff-

erent authors familiar to each state

profiled. Arizona came to mind first,

so I will preview with my own inter-

ests; Old Tucson is very good; espec-

ially the Western town. Peoria and

Phoenix are nice places to stay if

you know someone. Grand Canyon con-

firms God's wonders. No way to be

an 'athiest' after seeing that!

Arizona, like all our great states

(as of this writting, I have been

to 35!) should be seen before Big

Brother takes away out right(s)/to

travel!
