I ordered this volume anticipating that it would be as interesting as it's sister volume "The Most Scenic Drives in America" which I would recomend highly. "Off the Beaten Track" would be of interest to someone who perhaps hadn't done as much domestic travel as we have. For someone who's looking for a guide for unique sights and items off the beaten track I would recomend "Road Trip USA" by Jamie Jensen as a more valuable and interesting resource in this regard. It's typical Reader's Digest high quality printing and presentation with just a bit too "plain vanilla" content for this traveler.
Off the Beaten Path by Readers Digest
Rating: 5/5
This is an excellent travelogue with hundreds of pictures in full color. The lithography is spectacular. Over 1000 scenic places are fully described and many are depicted. For instance, the Ute Indian Museum is shown. The famous Taughanock Falls State Park of Ithaca is shown in full color. The National Bottle Museum is shown and fully described. This book would be excellent for a history or geography project in early or middle school.
