Summary: The Most Scenic Drives in America
Comment: This book has numerous beautiful color photographs as well as colored area maps where the scenic drives are located. Each stopping point has a number and a description of what you will find. I like the fact that you get the length of the trip, best time to go, and nearby attractions. If one wants to go to a specific state, you now know where the best views are.
I like to do photography and this book will be helpful when planning my trips. The book also is a reminder of the beautiful drives within a day's drive of my home.
The only thing I don't like about the book is the size. It is a coffee table book and won't fit on my bookshelf without sticking way out. Well worth the money.

Summary: Scenic Drives Offers Interesting Descriptions, Pictures
Comment: I would recommend The Most Scenic Drives in America to anyone who has a love of travelling. There are over 102 scenic drives described in this 300 plus page book. Covering each of the fifty states, these drives are detailed thouroughly with colorful pictures and interesting descriptions. Each drive is divided into numbers, and each of these numbers represents a key point on the trip. From beginning to end, whether it's the table of contents or the basic travel tips, this book makes the reader want to jump out of his seat and hit the road. The Most Scenic Drives in America is definitely a must if you are planning a driving excursion anywhere in the United States

Summary: Inspiring for Family Trips
Comment: This is a fun book for vacationing families, college student roadtrippers, RV campers, and motorcycle travelers.
As an Illinois resident, I was pleased to see 18 stops the authors considered scenic. Having traveled through many of them, I can attest their taste is good. Seeing the majestic Shawnee National Forest is like seeing what Adam and Even might have enjoyed had Eden been located in southern Illinois.
With all of the 120 drives, there are roughly 10-20 stops, each with a descriptive paragraph. Decorating each drive are photos of special sites or animals. Maps with insets demonstrate the context of the drive inside each state.
Not every great site has a stop. Illinois' gorgeous Starved Rock Park is missing, but only because so much of America is beautiful. To include every place of beauty would cause this 400 page book to be 40,000 pages.
While it makes a nice coffee table book, there is plenty to read. It can help inspire deeper research for your next family adventure.
I fully recommend "The Most Scenic Drives in America (Most Scenic Drives in America): 120 Spectacular Road Trips" by Readers Digest. It is as enjoyable to read as it is to look at.
