The ideal vacation planner for people who’ve “been there, done that,” this upbeat guide profiles a wealth of fascinating destinations, some of which may be well known regionally but virtually unknown nationally. In their most ambitious project to date, veteran travel writers Don and Betty Martin have selected the 250 very best hidden getaways, from Alaska to Florida and Hawaii to Maine. Undiscovered America , based on the authors’ 35 years of travel, reveals intriguing vacations in all 50 states. These include an obscure but grand vacation island on the Great Lakes; California’s best wine country (not Napa Valley!); a little-known Nevada town oozing with “cowboy cool”; and the world’s oldest Shakespeare festival, which is not in England but in Oregon. These destinations represent an irresistible mix of interesting towns, national parks and monuments, vacation regions, and driving tours that are ideal for an afternoon’s respite, a weekend getaway, or an extended visit.
