National Geographic Scenic Highways and Byways
Stunningly beautiful State Route 128 branches off
Interstate 70 near Moab, Utah, and follows the Colorado River offering
scenes nearly as spectacular as if we could drive along the bottom
of the Grand Canyon. Sadly, however, nearly all drivers remain instead
on the dull stretch of Interstate 70, choosing to rush toward their
destinations.
Most guidebooks are the same. Many fine
ones describe in detail what to do at the popular places, the
big cities, and the major national parks, but nearly none discusses
in detail the worthwhile options available for travel between
the various places, some of which are as enjoyable as the well-known
destinations themselves.
Two
friends of Dr. Voyageur pointed him to one road, Route 128. National
Geographic's Guide to Scenic Highways and Byways, on the other
hand, nudges us off the Interstates onto 200 of the most beautiful
highways in the United States, including Alaska and Hawaii.
Filled with the detailed descriptions, clear
maps, and the lovely photos expected in a National Geographic
publication, this guide makes an ideal companion to Let's Go USA
and Canada or a regional guide like Let's Go California. Dr. Voyageur
has travelled dozens of the routes mentioned and rates this as
a must buy for any auto traveller.
This is one of Dr. Voyageur' s favourite National Georaphic Society
guides.
Very highly recommended.
