Reader's Digest Scenic Wonders of America by Reader's Digest Association

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is still a good reference book for the scenic wonders of America, and that is why it gets 5 stars even if this edition is 30 years old.

The book describes 50 regions in the United States with excellent text and beautiful pictures. A feature of this book I like is "Within a Day's Drive". After approximately 8 pages about the scenic wonder, there is a map and nutshell descriptions of many other scenic areas that may be paid attractions, state parks, or federal lands. Museums in the area are often listed. At the end of the book are campground listings. This book gives you enough information for the reader to do internet searches to continue vacation planning.

I will continue to keep this book for reference and armchair travel.
