Really Good Guide

This is a great guide that is well put together and has the right amount of information on each town to help get you started. There is no useless filler that I have seen in other books, this one gets right to it. I would definitely recommend this one for anyone that loves to travel and have some good information about the place right before they go.

Informative Travel Resource is a Delight to Read

I'd recommend this book for anyone that enjoys travel and the great outdoors. I completely enjoyed it! The book reveals some little known gems, places that haven't been hurt by overdevelopment. The authors provide tips on where to stay, where to find a good meal, and what activities are available. If you have a spirit of adventure, be it wild or mild, this book has something for you...and some place wonderful to discover.

Great Travel Resource for Outdoor Enthusiasts

In the age of consumer reviews that are often unreliable (aka TripAdvisor), it is wonderful to find a travel resource that provides an unbiased look at 101 great places to visit in the US. Based on a formula, the authors locate towns that are able to retain their individualism in a society that is overrun by Walmart and other big box stores. These towns are inexpensive, uncrowded and great for people that like biking, hiking, fishing, etc. I have used this book to uncover some great new places, and I highly recommend it.

Best Travel Book Ever

I have read numerous travel books to help me plan my vacations and decide where to go. This is hands down by far the best travel book I've ever read in my entire life. If you are looking to plan a vacation or need an insiders guide on what to do, get this book right now. Don't know where to go on your next vacation?? Get this book. Don't know where to stay, what to eat, fun things to do while in town??? Get this book. Good stuff.
