Good Sight Seeing Guide for Rocky Mountain Area Travel

This is a good sightseeing guide that should help anyone who is interested in traveling the Rocky Mountain States by car.Arranged by state, the book highlights different attractions in each area. It also suggests driving loops, designed to hi-light the highlights while traveling a circular route along major highways. This is certainly designed well for someone who is unfamiliar with the area and wants a travel itinerary laid out with suggested sights and attractions.Accommodations or restraints are not listed, so one would have to look to another guide or the internet for those. This book can get you started with your destinations, however.

Lots of insight, too few images

I bought this book expecting a sort of National Geographic pictorial - and therefore a lot of landscape shots of the Rockies. I was dissapointed. Though the book is well put together and the photographs are decent, this is not a good book to get if you're looking for photographic examples of the rockies.If you're looking for the story behind the rockies, 5 stars. If you're looking for pictures, 3 stars (at most).
