Description

Many of us are taking more frequent, shorter trips and vacations, and thus, are looking for adventure closer to home. "Backroads of Pennsylvania" makes it easy for you to get the most out of your limited time by suggesting trips that are perfect for day or weekend getaways.

Covering nearly all corners of the diverse Keystone State-from the Northern Tier to the rolling farmlands of Dutch country and the popular Amish Lancaster County; from the battlefields of Gettysburg to the disappearing wilderness of the Poconos and the Appalachian Trail -our local experts lead readers on drives that explore the most scenic natural areas and the sites that capture Pennsylvania's colorful history.

"Backroads of Pennsylvania" takes both active and armchair travelers into some of the most secluded and overlooked spots in the state, providing a special glimpse into the people, events, and geography that make each region unique. Interesting sidebars on Pennsylvania history and the state's natural wonders, plus spectacular photographs, complement the narrative.

Summary: "Nice coffee table book"

Good book for sparking people's trip ideas. This is one I leave laying out for guests. The routes are not always the one's I would pick for the regions I'm familar with but are all sights to see. The pictures are great and there's enough information if people are curious they can look up more.

Summary: "Missing some good pics of lower Susquehanna Valley"

When I "searched inside this book," I found a text section on "Holtwood" & "Conowingo" Dams, not far from the Maryland border. I'm from around that area & have always been in awe of its beauty, so when I ordered this book, I was hoping there would be at least one nice photo or two of those places. Much to my disappointment, there was not a single one! The other photos were still good, but a great injustice was done by not showing that beautiful area!

Summary: "Pictures Alone are Worth the Price"

The photographs in this book are fantastic. Judging by the picture of the photographer in the back he took them with a large format camera, and it shows. A few even seem more realistic than if you were actually there when they were taken.

All in all, the book is money well spent for anyone with a bit of wanderlust and easy access to Pennsylvania.
