Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Every year, millions of people visit the top tourist destinations in California and Nevada but often come away disappointed because of the crowds and congestion. This unique guide skips the usual tourist traps and focuses instead on out-of-the-way places that are just as fascinating and picturesque, but far less crowded and much more friendly. With wry humor, veteran travel writers Don and Betty Martin guide drivers to novel attractions along scenic routes, from a perfectly preserved 1930s beach resort to undiscovered wine country and uncrowded national parks. Along the way, they identify intriguing towns, museums, restaurants, and campgrounds and pinpoint the best hikes, bike rides, fishing spots, and rafting sites.

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - An Obsolete Guide from a Book Less Rewritten
I got this book mainly to see about the areas up where I live in the San Bernardino Mountains in California. I have two major complaints. 1. The so-called "tours" that you would be hard-pressed to spend a day doing each one, much less a week like the authors claim; if you really tried, you might be able to stretch them out to two days if you stayed overnight somewhere. 2. Obviously, the authors have not bothered to visit their own "tours" on a regular basis to make sure they are still relevant ... Read More



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - California/Nevada at their mediocre.
Okay, my headline is a bit harsh, but I expect a little more from a travel guide of this region. This book is a little campy and its fair to say that travelers over a certain age group will revel in its tales of highway adventure. I'm of a tougher crowd and think the book fell short in its attempt to convey the true glory of coastal California and the desert byways. I read the book feeling like my dad was with me on a trip, driving us to places to see, but not experience. Two and a half stars would ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A California and Nevada tourists seldom see
This is an invaluable guide for tourists (and even some natives) who rarely venture beyond the familiar and sometimes very busy tourist traps and destinations. I myself am familiar with areas such as Ventura and San Luis Obispo Counties, the backcountry behind San Diego including Julian and the Borrego desert, and the Central Valley from Sacramento to Bakersfield, and have spent some enjoyable times in these places. Don and Betty Martin have obviously visited these areas often amd done their research.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Gateway to the Backroads
This is a guide to 21 road trips in California and 4 in Nevada. I've now taken a number of the backroads described in this book. There are some excellent suggestions for getting away from the interstates and finding the true character of these two states. The Martin's have a folksy style that I enjoyed. They didn't include much info about the scenery in between but mainly rundowns of the main cities along the way and places to eat and sleep. They really keep to the basics here. For example the section ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - California-Nevada Roads less traveled -
I never thought a book could have so much information about how to get around to different places. The authors know what they are talking. They have researched all information that is in the book and now I can travel and see that I have been missing. Thank you for a great book.
