About this book

This illustrated travel guide from National Geographic presents 5,000 travel experiences across all 50 U.S. states, covering both well-known and lesser-known destinations. Featured sites include national parks, beaches, hotels, Civil War battlefields, dude ranches, and regional museums. The book highlights specific attractions such as Tennessee's world's longest yard sale, Louisiana swamp tours, Colorado dinosaur trails, New York City's oldest street, and central California's sea otter viewing locations. Each entry includes detailed travel information and facts about the state. Beyond the 50 states, the guide also contains a section covering Canadian provinces and territories.
