  • Southwest Travel Guide
Just got back from Tucson, AZ. my first trip to the Southwest. The trip was great, sites were amazing, food was great. Everything went off as planned. Took the book along, great read, and facts to be accurate. Looking over the guidelines will use this guide again and the product arrived promptly and well packaged will remember to use them again. ... show more

  • A Very Useful Guide!
Format: Paperback
I relied exclusively upon the 3rd edition of Southwest to guide me through a recent, quite extensive road trip of the high desert regions discussed in this exceptionally well-produced Lonely Planet publication. I had a wonderful, adventure-filled time of it in no small part due to the creative suggestions for travel routes offered in this volume. If a road was not on the maps printed in this edition, then it was impassable for all intents and purposes to non- 4-wheel drive traffic. And I found hotel, B & B, country inn, and youth hostel selections to be uniformly accurate and helpful throughout the book. Suggestions for restaurants were diverse, cost sensitive, and often inspired as well. I enjoyed many superb meals at very reasonable prices as a direct result of explicitly following the directions in the pages of Southwest. One problem I had with this travel guide was what I came to consider insufficient differentiation of descriptions of historical sites. For example, Chaco Canyon, Canyon De Chelly, and Mesa Verde are all described at about the same superlative level by the authors. But I found Chaco disappointing, if for no other reason than there is little left of the architecture that once graced the arid, remote site. And the ENDLESS dirt road going in should have been re-graded years ago. The site is a pain to reach! For me, the best thing about Chaco was the movie narrated by Robert Redford (which was available for viewing at the Guest Center). But you would never get this from the book. Aside from this minor criticism, I cannot recommend Southwest too highly for those seeking the warm, friendly welcome and indescribable landscapes that come in abundance when touring this remarkable, magical region of the USA. ... show more

  • Your standard LP book
Format: Paperback
I have recently encountered poor Lonely Planet books, but this was not one of them. It is the good old LP at work. The coverage of Las Vegas, however, was extremely poor. I spent there 24 hours and this book didn't have enough info for even that short of a trip. The rest is great. The California LP had twice as much info on Las Vegas. ... show more

  • Lonely No More
Format: Paperback
Living in Australia, planning a road trip around the Southwest is not an easy consideration. I received this book and suddenly the Southwest was withing smelling distance. The reading is easy and expressive. I have a clear idea of where I will go and what I will do. No matter if I were travelling with children or on my own, I'd be clear about what is available to me. This will be the trip of a lifetime and this sensational book is a catalyst for my planning. Fully enjoyable, this book allows the magic of anticipation to grab me and give me colourful dreams. ... show more

  • Authors don't like New Mexico
Format: Paperback
I purchased this book before a recent visit to Albuquerque, Santa Fe, and Taos. I lived in Albuquerque for 4 years about 6 years ago, but I hoped to find new insigts on places to eat, explore, etc. Basically the guidebook told me where not to go. It failed to mention some excellent restaurants in Albuquerque including The Dog House, Las Mananitas, Il Vicino, etc. In Santa Fe I attended a class at the Santa Fe School of Cooking which was a five star class - not mentioned in the guidebook. In Taos I visited a community of alternative homes constructed of tires and cement (earthships.com will explain more) - again not mentioned in the book. I did go to look at a ruin near Espanola that was recommended, but the reservation does not allow admittance. ... show more

  • Concise yet informative.
Format: Paperback
The Lonely Planet Guides are simply the best travel books available. Their reviews are concise yet retain all the information the traveler needs. Highly recommended.

  • Made my vacation the best!
Format: Paperback
I used this book to help me plan a 10-day road trip around the Southwest - my first time in that region. This book was extremely helpful in helping me decide ahead of time which routes to take and what I wanted to see. But it came in the most handy when we were actually on the road. We played it by ear along the trip to decide what to see besides the big attractions we'd already planned for, as well as figuring out where to stay and where to eat. The book was great at giving us quick, concise information about the town we were approaching and giving us inspiration of what we wanted to see there. We found some real gems of places. The maps were great and the information on scenic drives and national parks/monuments were indispensable. It was equally helpful in the big cities. We used the book so much it basically stayed out of the backpack and on the car seat the whole time, and came into the Motel 6 with us every night for further research. Lonely Planet is awesome and if I ever go on vacation again (this was my first real vacation in over 6 years) I will definitely put their guidebooks at the top of my list. Other books that made this trip extra special were the Roadside Geology series and the Road Guide to Joshua Tree National Park. ... show more
