Review
"Don Kurz, a writer, nature photographer, and longtime employee of the Missouri Department of Conservation, has drawn on his countless trips into the Ozarks and Ouachita Mountains and his vast knowledge of the vacation and recreational facilities of the region and its landscapes, wildlife, and plants to compile a truly outstanding guide to a series of one-day trips."

"In this fascinating guide, you can find information on a wide range of back roads and out-of-the-way places that offer vistas as beautiful as any you'll see in the world."
