Product Description
It's a traveler's life list, a guide, an inspiration, a memory book. Open it to check out where you've been, and where you should go next. What to see and what to do and what to show the kids. Where to eat and where to stay. And how to change your life.
Covering the U.S.A. and Canada like never before, here are 1,000 spectacular, compelling, essential, offbeat, utterly unforgettable places. Pristine beaches and national parks, world-class museums and the Corn Palace, mountain resorts, salmon-rich rivers, scenic byways, Chez Panisse and the country's best taco, lush gardens and Holden Arboretum, mountain biking on the Maah Daah Hey trail, historic mansions, vineyards, hot springs, the Talladega Superspeedway, classic ballparks, and more. Includes more than 150 places of special interest to families, and, for every entry, the nuts and bolts of how and when to visit.
Book Description
It's the phenomenon: 1,000 Places to See Before You Die has 2.2 million copies in print and has spent 144 weeks and counting on The New York Times bestseller list.
Now, shipping in time for the tens of millions of travelers heading out for summer trips, comes 1,000 Places to See in the U.S.A. & Canada Before You Die. Sail the Maine Windjammers out of Camden. Explore the gold-mining trails in Alaska's Denali wilderness. Collect exotic shells on the beaches of Captiva. Take a barbecue tour of Kansas City—from Arthur Bryant's to Gates to B.B.'s Lawnside to Danny Edward's to LC's to Snead's. There's the ice hotel in Quebec, the Great Stalacpipe Organ in Virginia, cowboy poetry readings, what to do in Louisville after the Derby's over, and for every city, dozens of unexpected suggestions and essential destinations.
The book is organized by region, and subject-specific indices in the back sort the book by interest—wilderness, great dining, best beaches, world-class museums, sports and adventures, road trips, and more. There's also an index that breaks out the best destinations for families with children. Following each entry is the nuts and bolts: addresses, websites, phone numbers, costs, best times to visit.

Well readers, all I can say is, "Pack your suitcase or packsack, and get ready to go. All you need is time and money..." This book is jammed full of fun, exciting places to visit, both in the USA and Canada. I started checking off some spots that I had visited, and I found that I had missed several interesting places that I could have incorporated into my trip. From now on, I plan on doing some armchair travelling, flipping thorugh the atlas, and seeing more on each excursion. This book is very important for the traveller, even the experienced ones, and will give you some ideas for trekking, sightseeing, kayaking, and good spots to take on nourishment. I liked it and recommend it to any traveler. Bon voyage! Even been to Galena, Taliesin West, Effigy Mounds, or The Stratford Festival? Me neither, but I'm ready! Hope to see Patricia Schultz on the trail...

This book is great, a lot of restaurants and motels,etc but all located near some other great attractions. We are RVers which makes this book that much better for traveling and places to stop at along the way.

We'd "Been there, seen that," so Patricia Schultz's 1,000 PLACES TO SEE IN THE U.S.A. & CANADA BEFORE YOU DIE has sparked a renewed "travel bug." The book consists of short summary reviews of many interesting places; some are destinations and some are simply a stopping place along the way to your next big adventure. Geographic/natural sites as well as interesting places in an area are included. The basic geographical organization of the book is good, but with the sections I found sorting through the listings by the aurhot's title of the selection annoying (i.e. California begins with "Berkeley & Chez Panisse" in the northern part of the state, follwed with "Beverly Hills" in the southern part, the next two are, again, back in the north etc). I would have prefered all listings within a given area to be clustered together. Ms. Schultz does a good job including sites that appeal to diverse interests and ages; spas, golf courses, downtown areas, places of cultural and historical interest and some of the significant festivals or events. "Gentles, perchance you wonder at this show..." begins the Oregon Shakespeare Festival article; her writing is consistently reflective and interesting. It's not just another travel book of facts - you'll still need those, but enjoy this first.
