Reviews for Lonely Planet USA's Best Trips
7 ratings1 review
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Lonely Planet`s new offering, `USA's Best Trips: 99 Themed Itineraries Across America,' is a great start to planning a road trip of any length. The 712 page guide categorizes trips by location, theme (routes, food and drink, outdoors, history and culture, offbeat), and by season. This is more a planning guide than a detailed trip guide. While trips and interest sites are briefly described, the plan-ahead traveler will often need a more detailed guide to decide on hotels, restaurants, etc. However, this is a great place to begin one's plans. The most effective way I know to evaluate a travel guide is to read the sections on places that I know well. As a frequent visitor to the Smokies, I agree with most of their suggestions for the area. My only quibble is the suggestion to visit the park in September and October; the foliage may be at its peak, but unfortunately, at least on weekends, traffic moves v-e-r-y slowly across the mountains as everyone turns into a leaf peeper. And as a native New Orleanian, I can also agree that their suggestions for the Crescent City hold true. `USA's Best Trips' also contains maps, information from local `experts' (for me, the least interesting aspect of the guide), regional music play lists, child and pet friendly options, and a green index. The bottom line: Four Stars. A great book for the armchair traveler or those who are deciding where to go, but more detailed information will be needed once a route has been selected.
