Kurzbeschreibung
"This is the book for those who want...to take the slow route...get out of the car and walk around and look and talk to the people." —Times-Picayune
Expanded to include all U.S. designated America's Byways as well as other selected drives in all 50 states, this stunning new edition features unique driving tours through virtually every kind of landscape—spectacular coastlines, mountains, lakes, small towns, ranch and farmlands, islands, bays, and river valleys.
Some of the routes are famous, such as Virginia's Skyline Drive and Blue Ridge Parkway, the Natchez Trace, and picturesque sections of the Great River Road. But there are lesser-known drives here too, including the ones along Maryland's serene Eastern Shore and Michigan's remote Whitefish Bay, through quiet Pennsylvania Dutch Country and Texas's undiscovered Davis Mountains. Some drives are jaw-droppingly magnificent, like Wyoming's Centennial Scenic Byway through the spectacular Teton Range; while others possess quiet beauty, such as the lush Flint Hills of Kansas. These diverse auto adventures range from the 4-mile Las Vegas Strip to the 8,000-mile Alaska Marine Highway, offering wonderful inspiration for day excursions, weekend getaways, and longer, leisurely family vacations.
Veteran National Geographic writers combine their regional knowledge and storytelling techniques, describing the scenery, history, and points of interest along each route. Readers will also find 375 glorious photographs and four-color maps for every drive, along with information on road conditions, driving times, site addresses, visiting hours, admission fees, and more. It adds up to a "must have" reference for every adventuresome motorist.

Synopsis
Featuring all the U.S. designated America's Byways as well as many additional National Geographic-selected drives in all 50 states, the guide takes readers through every kind of landscape, from the intimate to the spectacular coasts, mountains lakes, small towns, ranch- and farmland, bays, islands, rivers, and valleys. There are famous drives here, including Virginia's Skyline Drive and the Blue Ridge Parkway, the Natchez Trace, and some of the prettiest sections of the Great River Road. But there are lesser-known drives here, too, including the ones through Pennsylvania's undiscovered Pennsylvania Dutch Country; Maryland's quiet Eastern Shore; and Michigan's remote Whitefish Bay. Some drives are jaw-droppingly magnificent, including Wyoming's Centennial Scenic Byway through the spectacular Teton Range, and Oregon's dramatic Columbia River Gorge; while others possess quiet beauty, such as the lovely Flint Hills of Kansas. This diversity reflects the richness of the American landscape.

Ein perfekter Führer, der die diversen Traumstraßen der verschiedenen US-Staaten sowohl anhand von groben Karten als auch Einzelbeschreibungen auflistet.
Für mich seit ein paar Jahren unersetzliches Werk zur Urlaubsplanung.
Wer individuell durch die USA reist, dem kann ich das Buch nur ans Herz legen. Die englischen Erklärungen sind einfach. Wer halbwegs Englisch kann, kommt damit klar.

Guide To Scenic Byways
28. Juni 2007
Format:Taschenbuch
I purchased this book as I already owned and use the 2nd edition. While I live in Indiana and there are not many scenic byways in this state, I really purchased the book for an annual "Two For The Road" trip I take with my car buddy Larry Cox. The maps for our week long adventures are usually based upon this book and another reference book that I have purchased called "the most scenic drives in America: 120 spectacular road trips". I recommend that you purchase both books, however, if you can only afford one, purchase most scenic drives in america as they have more details about stops along each byway. So while scenic drives is a great book to plan, the national geographic guide is easy to take along, carry on the plane, etc. It is an excellent reference book. I won't leave home without it!

A simply excellent travel guide for America
30. April 2008
Format:Taschenbuch
Even with exorbitant fuel prices, America is still the best bargain for travel bargain. This book proves it, over and over. The photography is simply superb, all in color, and gives the reader a wonderful opportunity to anticipate what might be found along each route discussed. While certain routes, e.g., Woodward Avenue out of Detroit, going north, would not have made my list, this is a minor quibble, since the Guide is intended for folks who have NOT been on the highways discussed.
The writing style is clear, informative, and easily read by anyone. The book is very well organized, and the remarkable photography closely follows the text.
In short, whether you intend to visit one state, or several, this book is an absolute must in terms of planning your trip. It not only describes the routes themselves, but attractions that closely border them. I have probably traveled thirty or forty of the routes described. In almost every instance, after reading this book, I wish I had had it with me when I made the journey.
This book earns a definite five-stars. It is very nearly a perfect travel guide to a lot of America. Even if your travels are confined to an armchair, you will enjoy this book endlessly for what it will teach you about America's geography and history.
Highly recommended, but don't loan it out.
