5.0 out of 5 stars If you're going to Arizona, buy this, 24 Oct 2009
By David "David" (Epsom, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Arizona Scenic Drives (Falcon Guides Scenic Driving) (Paperback)
To get full benefit from this book you really need a four-wheel-drive vehicle which you can legally take off-road (Avis will rent you one but this is utterly, totally pointless since the rental agreement forbids off-road driving; can't see any point in that at all - particularly given the ridiculous premiums you pay for them. You need a specialist rental place and they are also expensive - plus we've heard unreliability tales which might give you pause to think when you're off-road in a lonely desert).

However, we had a Lincoln Town Car and never went off road; yet the book significantly enhanced our Arizona experience. When driving from place to place we looked up the most scenic route and it took us on beautiful roads off the interstates that we would never otherwise have found. Brilliant - and to us, worth many times the price.

If you have a 4-wheel drive which you can actually take off-road it would be phenomenal - except that to get between recommended drives you're going to have to spend many, many dreary hours on interstate highways driving something with the aerodynamics of a public toilet, the comfort of a stage coach (some US SUVs have archaic suspension technology) and (despite large engines) the highway performance of a golf cart. We even got a little fed up of the distances in a Town Car (rather like driving around in a large car-shaped marsh mellow). If you can handle the interstates in what will basically amount to a truck, tho, some of the off-road drives will clearly be mind-boggling.

If money and time are no object then use a saloon to do the distances and rent a four-wheel drive from specialist renters local to the drive you're doing - if there is one (only in major tourist areas).

But if you're going to Arizona for leisure reasons, get the book regardless. Even if you only do one route, it'll be worth it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed, 23 Jul 2009
This review is from: Arizona Scenic Drives (Falcon Guides Scenic Driving) (Paperback)
I was very disappointed to find that all the photos inside the book are in black and white - hope the actual scenic drives live up to their detailed descriptions as the photos are such an anticlimax! ...not even sure if I really want to go there now !

4.0 out of 5 stars Scenic Driving in Arizona is a very good buy!, 26 Mar 2009
By J. S. Asker (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If you are going to Arizona and are planning to tour around then this book could be ideal if you want to get off the interstate highways and enjoy some magnificent drives on minor roads. We found the routes easy to find and very quiet but we did travel in early March. Thoroughly recommended
