Fodor's Arizona 2004

Summary: Solid Guidebook for Arizona, lacks grand canyon info though
Review: I used this guidebook for a short road trip to Arizona from Los Angeles. The book is well written and organized as most Fodor's books are. It lists the usual thorough list of hotels/restaurants, mileage distances from cities, histories and summaries of each cities as well.

My only complaint for the book would be the fact that for most travelers the highilght of a trip to Arizona will be the Grand canyon. This book seems to lack a lot of detailed information about the grand canyon. If you're just planning to go to the grand canyon for a half day or so to view the canyon then the grand canyon info in this book is enough. However if you are planning to stay there for a few days and hike, camp, take a mule ride, etc, then I suggest also purchasing a grand canyon book to supplment the info in this book.

Overall a great book full of useful information to plan and guide you through a vacation to arizona. However if you're looking for a lot of detailed information about the grand canyon then you might want to purchase an additional book solely for the grand canyon; such as lonely planet's grand canyon to supplement this book about Arizona.
