Summary: Great For Devising Beautiful Driving Vacations
Review: This is a great book for planning beautiful driving vacations in the United States. In the front of the book are small regional maps showing the location of the depicted drives, and in the main body of the book are details about the drives with specific directions and sights to look for.
Many travel guides show interesting destinations, but few can compare to this book for showing beautiful routes, sometimes far more breathtaking than the destinations themselves. The directions are generally clear and the color photography is first rate throughout. I subtracted one star, though, for a conceptual issue that I think weakens the book to a degree. Most of the routes start in isolated areas far from a major city. For travelers from other regions, it is sometimes difficult to deduce the way to the starting point (many starting points are simply crossroads) and from the ending point of these routes. It would be a notable improvement (especially for unfamiliar travelers who fly to a major airport to start a driving vacation) if in the third edition the editors put brief directions to the starting points from major cities in the general area. I would like to give the book 4.5 stars, but Amazon doesn't allow that, so I settled for four.
This is an excellent vacation planning resource and I recommend it highly.

Summary: Outstanding scenery, we have never been disappointed.
Review: When I retired a friend gave me a copy of this book and we have been gratefull to him for introducing us to it. We have traveled extensively since retirement and without fail we check our route with this book to see if the author has a suggested scenic highway. We have traveled on approximately 20 of them in various areas in the US and have not been disappointed. Try it, you will like it and become a devoted reader as we have. Perhaps even give one to a friend, via Amazon.com, whom you know is retiring.

Summary: Plan your vacation with this book in hand!
Review: When I was a small child, I remember how my dad and I planned our vacations using the wonderful Mobil Travel Guides. I still use those to find out where to stay, but I use THIS book to find out where to go and what route to take.Our family has driven at least 10 of these scenic drives on our vacations over the past few years. The pictures are breathtaking and the maps are excellent (of course - they're by National Geographic!). They also tell you how many miles this particular route is, and how long it will take. For each of the 200 spectacular drives, the book lists not-to-be missed highlights such as rivers, overlooks, museums, and other interesting landmarks that you might not see if you hadn't read this book. The way I used this book was to decide what area of the country we wanted to go to, then I looked up the different drives and after I found a few good ones, THEN I used the trusty Mobil Travel Guides! Buy this book - you'll love it! Happy traveling!
