Cactus and Canyons

Cactus and Canyons, a CD tour guide, is the second of a series of books on Scenic Tours of North America, and covers Central and Southwestern USA. Many travel books provide tours through a particularly scenic area, and then jump to another scenic area. The Cactus and Canyons tour guide not only covers these areas but also includes them in a complete Minitour that connects with other Minitours. With a little planning you can follow a charted tour for most of your trip through Colorado, Utah, California, New Mexico, Arizona, Texas and other states within the coverage area of the book.

The Cactus and Canyons tour guide is written in a manner that makes it an extremely useful book that the average family can use to select the most interesting route to a southwestern destination. All Minitours are outlined on a large area map placed near the front of the book making it easy to locate a destination and select Minitours that go in that general direction. Then read each of those Minitours and string together those Minitours that you like best. Your trip is now ready.

The wide selection of 44 Minitours and almost 13 Parktours is designed to take you through areas of unusual scenic wonders, or geological phenomena, many of which are off the 'beaten path'. The extensive Table of Contents leads the reader quickly to the information listed under each Minitour. A map of the Minitour accompanies each Minitour, and some areas are expanded to provide more detail. The excellent number of parks covered along with park maps make the book an invaluable addition to anyone's travel library.
