Product Description
It's a traveler's life list, a guide, an inspiration, a memory book. Open it to check out where you've been, and where you should go next. What to see and what to do and what to show the kids. Where to eat and where to stay. And how to change your life.

Covering the U.S.A. and Canada like never before, here are 1,000 spectacular, compelling, essential, offbeat, utterly unforgettable places. Pristine beaches and national parks, world-class museums and the Corn Palace, mountain resorts, salmon-rich rivers, scenic byways, Chez Panisse and the country's best taco, lush gardens and Holden Arboretum, mountain biking on the Maah Daah Hey trail, historic mansions, vineyards, hot springs, the Talladega Superspeedway, classic ballparks, and more. Includes more than 150 places of special interest to families, and, for every entry, the nuts and bolts of how and when to visit.


Book Description
It's the phenomenon: 1,000 Places to See Before You Die has 2.2 million copies in print and has spent 144 weeks and counting on The New York Times bestseller list.

Now, shipping in time for the tens of millions of travelers heading out for summer trips, comes 1,000 Places to See in the U.S.A. & Canada Before You Die. Sail the Maine Windjammers out of Camden. Explore the gold-mining trails in Alaska's Denali wilderness. Collect exotic shells on the beaches of Captiva. Take a barbecue tour of Kansas City—from Arthur Bryant's to Gates to B.B.'s Lawnside to Danny Edward's to LC's to Snead's. There's the ice hotel in Quebec, the Great Stalacpipe Organ in Virginia, cowboy poetry readings, what to do in Louisville after the Derby's over, and for every city, dozens of unexpected suggestions and essential destinations.

The book is organized by region, and subject-specific indices in the back sort the book by interest—wilderness, great dining, best beaches, world-class museums, sports and adventures, road trips, and more. There's also an index that breaks out the best destinations for families with children. Following each entry is the nuts and bolts: addresses, websites, phone numbers, costs, best times to visit.

4 out of 5 stars 1000 places   November 12, 2008
I bought this book before a recent road trip with my husband. It was very handy to give me insight to places we were visiting or ideas I hadn't already had. Overall it's just a fun book to have! I like to highlight all the places we have been.


5 out of 5 stars Unbelieveable!   November 2, 2008
I enjoy traveling and always looking for a new place to explore and what to do when I am there. This book tells you exactly that and more. When the best time to go and how much you will be spending on rooms and excursions. I really enjoyed going through this book and highlighting where I have been and where I want to go. This book is exactly what I was looking for. THANK YOU!!


5 out of 5 stars Very interesting   October 2, 2008
This book was very interesting. Limiting it to 1,000 things is both a plus and a minus for it. On one hand, there are things excluded from the book that I felt should have been in there in some locations. On the other hand, limiting it to 1,000 things keeps the book from being too long and cumbersome. Overall, this book was an enjoyable read but when traveling, I would definitely couple it with your own research about interesting attractions in the locale you are visiting.


5 out of 5 stars Wonderful Travel Ideas   August 13, 2008
New Mexico, South Carolina, Montana, Vermont, New York, Virginia, and Maine are some of the places I have lived that are well covered and reasonably represented in this guide (with the East certainly receiving more attention than the West). Although anyone can name worthwhile places not included, or argue about the appropriateness of some of the places that are included, overall, the balance of well-known attractions and lesser-known gems is a good one. There seem to be fewer expensive hotels featured in this book than in the world-wide volume, but emphasis on restaurants is stronger--not a bad thing for those of us who consider culinary treats an important part of travel and culture.
As with her other "1000 Places" volume, this guide provides more inspiration and travel ideas than practical travel details--that's what conventional guide books and the Internet are for. I love the book and recommend it to anyone considering travel.

4 out of 5 stars Good reference book.   August 8, 2008
I've been on a bit of a traveling kick lately. I'm really interested in seeing different parts of the world and different parts of the US. I bought this book because I was planning a road trip to quite a few different states and I thought it would be a good reference book.

Let's talk about the positives first. In terms of how it's written, the book is organized by sections of the country (New England, the west coast, etc.) It's not hard to find a specific state. Second, there's something listed for everyone in all of the states. From theme parks to museums, from parks to restaurants, there's quite a bit of information in this book. The writer even mentions the best times of the year to visit a particular area as well as the cost. Also, the writer lists some recommendations (like what to eat at certain restaurants) which is a bonus.

And now for the negatives. I have to say that a good amount of the attractions listed are historical in nature. Now, I'm all for doing historical-related things but I wish there was a bigger selection of other attractions. Second, in my opinion, this book doesn't read like a typical book. I wouldn't find much enjoyment from reading it from beginning to end. This is simply a reference book.

Overall, I think this book is great to have on hand when you're planning a trip to another state. It has some interesting tidbits that may be useful. However, I'm sure there are better books out there.
