Road Tours Of The Southwest, Book 17: National Parks & Monuments, State Parks, Tribal Park & Archeological Ruins (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781981858361)

ROAD TOURS OF THE SOUTHWEST -- National Parks & Monuments, State Parks, Tribal Parks, & Archeological Ruins is a 17-volume mini-series and complete literary tour of all the scenic icons of the Southwest. Each book averages 125 pages and is based on a popular tourist hub such as Flagstaff, Arizona. Thus, a GRAND CIRCLE tour route takes readers (and drivers) to all the regional national parks and monuments, state and tribal parks, and Anasazi archeological ruins within an average of 200 miles from each tourist hub. The essential information is 'layered, ' in a sense, the reader peruses how much information to read and digest. Thus, the geology, natural and human history, hiking trails, and other essentials (where applicable), including directions and contact information. The details presented in these compact 6 x 9 formatted books graduate from the essential to more entailed information. Given the entire series, there are some ninety destinations in this travel itinerary and the books can be purchased individually or as a combined set that appeals to one's interest (i.e., scenic destinations featured in each book). What sets this compendium apart from other similar subject matter is the interpretative and highly informative digest where the explanation of each scenic destination graduates from the most essential to more detailed information. Again to mention the point, the reader/driver chooses what to read or skip.

Bon voyage and enjoy the American Southwest's peerless scenery!
