A spectacularly visual guidebook, this volume presents 30 of New England's
most colorful and scenic drives.
by Kim Knox Beckius featuring photography by William H. Johnson
In Backroads of New England, Kim Knox Beckius and photographer William H. Johnson take active and armchair travelers alike into some of the region's most secluded and overlooked spots. Backroads of New England is both a celebration of New England's natural beauty and a practical guide for those seeking to drive the most scenic roads in Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont.
The 30 featured driving tours cover 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. Directions and maps enable travelers to plan a day or weekend of adventure along these picturesque byways.
At a time when we seldom lose our way, when we wonder about precious little, when responses to the most trivial queries are at our fingertips, the second edition of Backroads of New England affirms how important human guidance remains in the information age. Sure, a GPS will get you where you're going. But this inspiring book will transform your time in transit into an extraordinary journey.
An Essential Guide for Road Trippers. A Perfect Gift for Travelers and New Englanders.
