“We spent last winter on the west coast and visited some amazing sites, but oh, how I wish we had had this invaluable resource at that time! The book is detailed with thoroughly researched information about each location. The photos are beautiful. I am already planning an extended visit to the desert canyons and rock formations of Utah and surrounding area and will refer to this great reference as intently as I did the Mileposts book before I took off to drive to Denali on the Alaska Highway last year. “ — Amazon Reviewer
4.8 out of 5 stars
Get inspired to hit the road and discover the America you never knew existed!
Journey from the Texas Hill Country through the dry deserts of the Southwest and discover emerald pools in hidden river canyons, ancient ruins so big they once rivaled the Coliseum in Rome, and endless acres of otherworldly badlands. Head west through Nevada and California, uncovering twisting Martian landscapes, a hidden beach with purple sands, blazing waters of a “firefall,” and rolling hillsides blanketed with brilliant wildflowers.
Travel through the Pacific Northwest and trace early pioneer landmarks, stand among the skeletal remains of what was once the largest waterfall in the world, encounter a rolling masterpiece of red and yellow hillsides, and explore rocky shores home to some of the most violent displays of raw Pacific Ocean power. After you’ve experienced the thrills of the Pacific, head back east toward the Rockies and find rocks that sing, disappearing rivers, and an unknown valley of cotton candy-colored cliffs.
