Customer Reviews

What a gem!

This is the most appealing eco travel book I have seen/read! Identifying interesting areas—general and specific—throughout North America and places to stay with the specifics on type/s of accommodation and activities, best season/s to travel there, plus their history, offers compelling recommendations that are so prolific that it is a challenge to decide where to go. The book is organized by theme rather than geographic location, and is flush with appealing photographs. The text flows nicely and encourages following from one section to the next. The book begins by contrasting travelers with tourists, and encourages people to experience nature locally as well in other environments, to slow down, and to learn from and contribute to the people and environment. The book handles its purposes without preaching. Compelling descriptions, photographs and variety offer many alternatives to reach readers with a wide range of interests and preferences. I expect this book to be an appealing, ongoing reference for many years.
