Description

This lavishly illustrated travel planner features 500 of the world's most memorable driving experiences, from legendary Highway 1 in California to Japan's famous Irohazaka Winding Road. Compiled from the favorite trips of National Geographic's legendary travel writers, Drives of a Lifetime spans the globe to reveal the best celebrated and lesser-known road trips on the planet. Inside this fully updated and revised edition--featuring more than 20 new drives--you'll find routes through spectacular landscapes, ideas for quick getaways, leisurely journeys of discovery, and revelations of secret worlds beyond Google Maps. Some are legendary long-distance odysseys; others are easy day trips close to home, taking you down charming local byways. All will inspire you to pack up the car and hit the road. The possibilities are endless: Take Colorado's San Juan Skyway for a 10,000-foot climb over towering mountain passes. Or travel the ancient Silk Road on an expedition across Central Asia and through time. Or why not drive the perimeter of Puerto Rico, a tropical paradise with many beaches along the way? Whatever your taste and budget, you'll find plenty of routes tailored to your interests. Alongside detailed descriptions, full-color maps guide the way and planning tips help you make the most of your journey; top 10 lists offer quick, easy side trip ideas. Beautiful, informative, and inspiring, this luxurious volume is a lifelong resource that readers will treasure. Read more

  • Lovely coffee table book
I saw this in a hotel and got it for my husband for Christmas. Even our kiddos have enjoyed looking through the lovely photos.

  • Beautiful and informative book!
Although it appears to be a glossy, beautifully photographed "coffee-table" book, this volume is a wealth of information on travel and road trips. Highly recommend!

I haven't used any of the trip ideas yet but I have enjoyed looking at the pictures.

  • Good purchase.
This book was exactly what we needed for our cross country trip! It gave us great tips, and insight on different things we would not have known about. Very reasonably priced.
