Laurence Parent is a well-known photographer - his photos illustrating this book are superb (wish there were more) and his descriptions of these drives in New Mexico are great...the maps are crude but serviceable. They are better than the very rough ones in his Hiking New Mexico, though...I've driven almost all the routes described and got my money's worth many times over - the book is well-used and always with me on my New Mexico trips.

I am so glad I received this book as a gift a few years ago. I have taken about 85% of the drives described and I never would have discovered many of these drives and I certainly would not have enjoyed them so much without this book. I give this book as a gift to friends now all the time. It is a great book and has all the appropriate details to appreciate sites and views along the way. Don't live in or near New Mexico or travel through New Mexico without this book if you like scenery and touring and also an occasional dirt road virtually to yourself.

I brought several books with me to New Mexico and found this was virtually useless.
