Whether taking a cross country trip or planning a staycation, "Great American Road Trips" is the ultimate guide to scenic drives. Even if you are not planning a road trip anytime soon, it still contains exceptional pictures and information about each scenic drive. The first person descriptions make them more realistic. Highlight: each section ends with a quote and being from Texas and having lived near Fredericksburg, I am partial to the one after 'Southwest, ' "Where flowers bloom, so does hope" by Lady Bird Johnson because it accompanies the picture of a field of bluebonnets near Fredericksburg. Seeing all these flowers along side the road every spring is awe-inspiring. All the pictures are colorful and they make each destination look more inviting. "Great American Road Trips" is an extremely helpful resource for anyone planning a scenic drive or two and might just inspire a bucket list altogether.--Sandra Cruz "SA Examiner"
"The book's beautiful color photographs of the Palouse depict green, softly flowing hills that appear to be in motion--amazing to behold.

It is partly a coffee-table book and partly a travel guide."--William Caverlee "Perceptive Traveler blog https: //www.perceptivetravel.com/issues/0821/books.html"
