Synopsis

Announcing the updated edition of The New York times No. 1 bestseller with 602,000 copies in print. 1,000 Places to See in the U.S.A. and Canada Before You Die is not only a wish book but also a practical guide--and this information is now completely revised and updated,including phone numbers, Web addresses, prices, and other information that may have changed since the first edition was published in 2007. Shipping in time for travel season, for long summer weekends, for whenever the mood strikes to pack up the car and set out to discover a new piece of America (and Canada!), 1,000 Places to See in the U.S.A. and Canada is a map to all the unique and wonderful places just around the corner: 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. Play tennis the way it was meant to be--on grass--at the lavish Victorian Newport Casino. Take a barbecue tour of Kansas City--Arthur Bryant's to Gates to Snead's. There's the ice hotel in Quebec, the stalacpipe organ in Virginia, out-of-the-way Civil War battlefields, dude ranches and cowboy poetry readings, and what to do in Lexington after the Derby's over. More than 150 places are highlighted as family-friendly, and indices in the back organize the book by subject--wilderness, dining, beaches, world-class museums, sports, festivals, and more.
