Product Description

Comprehensively covering New Mexico & Arizona, and stretching into some highly visited parts of Nevada (Las Vegas) and Southwest Colorado (Mesa Verde National Park), the Rough Guide to Southwest USA covers the region not just as a collection of states but both in the manner people tend to visit and by defining what the Southwest means. The area is one of the great road trip destinations in America, full of scenic national parks, unusual geological formations, unique cities like Santa Fe, vintage Americana, and Wild West towns. There are great features on Southwest movie locations, native peoples, adobe architecture and the like, and plenty of practical details and descriptions for hikes and other outdoor activities.

About the Author

Greg Ward has written for Rough Guides since 1985. He is author of Rough Guides to Hawaii, The Grand Canyon, Brittany & Normandy, Las Vegas Directions and Maui Directions.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great help during our trip, 19 Sep 2008

By	P. Haack - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

We bought and used this guide during our recent trip to the South West. We liked the author's style - this certainly is not a dry guide book. He might be a bit opinionated but he was nearly always spot on. The Motel reviews and recommendations were accurate and very helpful in choosing the right place to stay, particularly in small places.
I can warmly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A travel guide in a class of its own, 26 Aug 2009

By	Mof (Chichester UK) - See all my reviews

Like many people I have used dozens of helpful travel guides to a variety of locations but I can honestly say I this is the best, and most comprehensive, I've ever seen. Greg Ward has written what is essentially the "Bible" to the classic road trip region of the 4 Southwestern states which you are likely to visit from Phoenix, or Las Vegas (which is also included). Its 600 pages make most other guides seem superficial by comparison. As well as the first-hand practical information, this book includes a wealth of background detail,for example 32 pages on the history of the region and culture of the Native American peoples. All of this is remarkably well written in a concise,articulate style by an author who is clearly passionate about this part of the States, but is objective enough to suggest what is worth visiting and what may be disappointing. The book has accompanied me on two trips to the Southwest and I would warmly recommend it to anyone planning a visit to this amazing region.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ecellent, the only FULL guide to travel in the WEST USA
Great product. Other guides are good, but this is really full. Only negative note: few informations for restaurant, hotel and other.
