Overview

Jump-start your next vacation with this all-time best-selling travel companion. This premier guide to America's hidden gems tells you everything you need to know about more than 1,000 of America's most appealing and unspoiled travel spots from coast to coast. Now completely revised and thoroughly updated, Off the Beaten Path highlights natural marvels, historic homes and villages, wildlife preserves, ghost towns, and many more attractions that most travelers simply overlook. Planning a trip to Colorado? Don't miss the Overland Trail Museum, commemorating the 1860s route that carried thousands of settlers and adventurers westward. Passing through Connecticut? Check out the American Clock & Watch Museum, which boasts an exceptional collection of jeweled watches, alarm clocks, wall clocks, watch keys, and fobs. If you plan to visit Oregon, be sure to stop at the Sea Lion Caves for an astonishing look at hundreds of sea lions -- and do a little whale watching too. Stopping in Minnesota? Test your knowledge of Spam history and mania -- and take the "Spam Exam" -- at the ever-popular Spam Museum. If Georgia is on your route, plan to visit the Cloudland Canyon State Park, with its spectacular scenic views of rugged rock faces, ridges, valleys, and waterfalls. And if Hawaii beckons, don't forget to try the exotic pineapple wine at Tedeschi Vineyards on Maui.

Perhaps even more important, the information about each scenic spot, quaint town, and intriguing attraction has been meticulously researched by our editors and verified by the respective state's tourist boards as truly being off the beaten path. Organized alphabetically by state, this readable vacation planner and browser's delight will lead you to America's best-kept secret spots.

Editorial Reviews

Library Journal
In 1987, Reader's Digest came out with a book that rapidly found its way onto the shelves of virtually every public library and into the hands of excited patrons who wanted to see America beyond the crowded tourist attractions. If that book still exists on library shelves today, it's probably looking a bit worn after more than a decade, so here's a chance to reintroduce the less-traveled United States to a new generation of readers. For the 1987 book, Reader's Digest staff pored over maps of the states, choosing places that they thought would be interesting to investigate. This time, they contacted each state's official tourist board to come up with destinations missed in the first edition. As a result, not only have the original hideaways been included but more than 200 new places have been added. Caves, museums, beaches, plantations, gardens, lava beds, remnants of historic trails-there surely is something for everyone here. The maps are a bit too generalized to be of much value, but the web sites (when available) provide useful and very current visitor information. Every library should make room for this hefty but loving look at the seldom-seen places that make America a treasure to discover.-Joseph L. Carlson, Allan Hancock Coll., Santa Maria, CA Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.
