Scenic Driving Arizona

Pack up the car and enjoy thirty separate drives through the deep canyons, cacti-spotted desert plains, and grassy prairies of Arizona. This indispensable mile-by-mile highway companion maps out day trips that explore the Grand Canyon State. Discover Arizona's multicultural history, geographic diversity, and awe-inspiring scenery along highways and back roads, from the Grand Canyon and the Painted Desert to the volcanic White Mountains and the Apache Trail Scenic Byway. Along the way stop and explore the ruins of ancient Indian villages, watery playgrounds such as Lake Mead, the natural delights of national parklands, and the ghost towns and abandoned gold mines of Arizona's pioneer days. Inside you'll find: individual itineraries from 16 miles to 169 miles in length; in-depth descriptions of attractions along the way; maps outlining each route; historical information and suggested side trips.Green, Stewart M. is the author of 'Scenic Driving Arizona', published 2003 under ISBN 9780762727018 and ISBN 0762727012.
