National Geographic Driving Guide to America, Southwest

bought this book at a used book store just before our SW vacation.It came very handy in planning what sights to see before we went. It was also handy when we were driving around in the SW and came across an attraction,looked it up in the book and stopped.It even gives info on the history and other facts of the great SW.I was very happy to have it with us and I recommend it for your trip to the desert,especialy if you are from the NE like me.

This is a good sightseeing guide that should help anyone who is interested in traveling the States of Utah, Arizona and New Mexico by car.Even if you know you want to see the Grand Canyon, what else do you do in the Northern Arizona / Southern Utah area? This book answers that question.Arranged by state, the book highlights different attractions in each area. It also suggests driving loops, designed to hi-light the highlights while traveling a circular route along major highways. This is certainly designed well for someone who is unfamiliar with the area and wants a travel itinerary laid out with suggested sights and attractions.Accommodations or restraints are not listed, so one would have to look to another guide or the internet for those. This book can get you started with your destinations, however.
