With people taking more frequent, shorter trips and vacations, travelers are
looking for adventure closer to home. Backroads
of New England makes it easy for readers to get the most out of their
limited time by suggesting trips that are perfect for day or weekend getaways.
Covering all corners of New England--from the sandy shores of Cape Cod to the
distinct ridges of Vermont's Mount Mansfield; from Connecticut's Quiet
Corner to the Kancamagus Highway through the White Mountain National Forest in
New Hampshire; and from tiny Lubec, Maine, at "the Beginning of America" to
the "Graveyard of the Atlantic" at Point Judith, Rhode Island--Backroads
of New England is both a celebration of New England's beauty and a practical
guide for those seeking to drive New England's scenic roads.
Written and photographed by
local experts, Backroads of New England takes active and
armchair travelers alike into some of the most secluded and overlooked spots,
providing a special glimpse into the people, events, and geography that make
each state unique. Interesting sidebars on
New England
history and the area's natural wonders, plus spectacular photographs,
complement the narrative.
