Description
Find your own journey. Vast landscapes may be the start of a travel dream, but a good road trip also requires thoughtful choices between stops. Lonely Planet Southwest USA helps you explore the Southwestern USA and prioritize where to spend your time. Let nature, history, or a specific area become the common thread in your own plan.
Experiences to look forward to. Hiking in canyon landscapes, characteristic cacti, and old Western towns are among the experiences the book highlights. The guide compiles maps, itineraries, and practical advice. Interior images show, among other things, an introduction to the area and a suggested itinerary with cowboy history and canyons as themes, providing an impression of how experiences can be linked together.
Who is this guide suitable for? Choose this regional guide when the Southwestern USA is your main destination and you want a broad foundation for a multi-stage trip. It is also suitable when you want to compare possible routes before deciding how far to travel and where you would rather stay for a few extra days.
From inspiration to your own plan. Use the guide before departure to choose a few experiences you really want, and see them in the context of the rest of the trip. A route with fewer stops can give you more time to get to know each place. Browse it with your travel companions, compare ideas, and find a balance between what you want to fit in and what you want time to experience. Feel free to leave some days less fixed, so the plan also has room for what you discover along the way.
A physical travel guide is great to return to when discussing the next leg of the trip. Find an idea you noted, use the map as a basis for the conversation, and let the plans develop as you get to know the destination. The book can follow the trip from the first ideas at home to the choices you make along the way, and become a keepsake to leaf through once you’re back.
