Road Tripping

This book shares classic road trips across the US. It plans out the route, what hotels to stay in and where to eat. There is some history about roads in the front which is interesting for families. It would make a good book for family roadtrips as it also has games to play during roadtrips.

The BEST book for a first time roadtripper

I went on my very first road trip from California to Virginia, up to Canada and back into the USA through Michigan, stopping along the way at various spots to sight see and eat. This book was the best investment for that trip. All the places that were editor's choices to see and eat were absolutely great! The book is broken up by highway routes, so it tells you mile by mile what you'll see on the way and things you might be interesting in stopping to take a closer look at. In large cities such as San Francisco and Washington D.C. they provide street maps so it enhances your navigation through unknown places. I had a great experience with this book and I would recommend it to anyone who needs a little help in knowing what is worth seeing and what isn't.

1010 pages of things to see!

If you want to make every mile count, take this guide on your next trip around the USA. It explores America's classic routes (Route 66, the Lewis and Clark Historic Trail) and off the freeway routes. Travel down these blue highways to find some things you won't find on speedy, but mind-numbing interstates. This book includes tips, maps, sights and leads you to great offbeat places to eat. Forget the fast food and find the real America with this heavy-duty guide.
