This book is indispensable for those wanting scenic, out-of-the-way places that are (for the most part) not major tourist attractions. In my 6-week cross-country trip, this book was extremely helpful in finding the best routes and the places with the least crowds. If you like discovering small-town America and beautiful places few of your friends can say they've seen, this book is for you. I love the national parks and other major attractions, but also want to find the interesting places where the crowds don't gather. This book helped me do that. It's a must for those who love to travel and explore.

We have a motor home and love finding out of the way places. This is a great resource that we have used often. Unfortunately we tried to use it in 1999 and several of the "places" no longer exhisted. Because they are off the beaten path, we had traveled many miles off our route to our disappointment. We wish a revised edition was available

This book is an excellent source for out-of-the-way vacation spots. While most of the sites listed may not be the ultimate destination, these are gret sites to visit along the way. Each state has at least 8-10 places listed so the book gives many good day trip ideas as well. Besides being a travel guide, this book is fun reading. Descriptions of each spot and occasional pictures make this a good cure for cabin fever on a cold winter's night.
