Taking a drive in the country has been popular since horse-and-buggy days. But while the road trip itch is as strong as ever, scenic drives get scarcer year by year. The answer is a collection of the 120 loveliest drives in the U.S., providing maps and tours (with sites along the way itemized and lovingly described), trip length, when to go, nearby attractions, and local information sources. Free time is at a premium these days; rather than waste your leisure time in highway gluts, it's worth taking directions to some of the most beautiful drives the country still has to offer.
Product Description
A one-of-a-kind trip planner, a superb on-the-road reference, and an album of 400 photographs. From the Atlantic to the Pacific, here are 120 outstanding drives that show the magnificence of America-each with detailed, easy-to-follow maps.

A Huge Hit January 7, 2009
Since I gave this book to my husband for Christmas, I keep finding it all over the house. Apparently, he is taking it with him (to the office, the bathroom, to bed) and really enjoying it. And the pictures are beautiful!
very good travel book December 28, 2008
The Most Scenic Drives in America: 120 Spectacular Road TripsGreat photos and descriptions. I have really enjoyed this travel book.

This one is favorite travel book. Being an amateur photographer, I like to drive along the scenic drives, enjoy the spectacular views and capture them in my camera.
This book will provide you:
- The scenic drives and the key places on the route.
- Tell the facts & specialties of the places.
- What time of year is good to go.
- Awesome pictures of the drives to motivate you to go there.
- Contact numbers and information websites.
- Information about side-trips.
I will recommend to map out your route on Google Maps and do some search online for the side-trips before leaving. Some side-trips are not worth missing, so information-at-hand will help you to get there, w/o stopping anywhere to get local directions.
Beautiful photography August 7, 2008

 The Big Drive July 1, 2008
Looking for a combination of Drives to get the best out of a Touring Holiday in the USA - you need this book! It is easy to link together many of the "120 Spectacular Road Trips" to form a fantastic itinerary to see the best scenery and sights the USA has to offer. It's better than the more specialised "Route 66" and "Lincoln Highway" drives for visitors to the USA who are wanting to experience a broader cross section of US history and its stunning geography. Maps are clear, colour photography whets the appetite and cultural and scenic highlights are picked out in the commentary. Combined with the use of a simple Tom Tom style GPS system the book would provide the solution for visitors planning a Touring experience of the USA - from the smallest local scale to an epic journey covering the best of the nation.
