Hidden Gems of the Western United States

Hidden Gems of the Western United States

Get inspired to hit the road and discover the America you never knew existed.

Journey from the Texas Hill Country through the dry deserts of the Southwest and discover emerald pools in hidden river canyons, ancient ruins so big they once rivaled the Coliseum in Rome, and endless acres of otherworldly badlands. Head west through Nevada and California, uncovering twisting Martian-duplicating landscapes, a hidden beach with purple sands, blazing waters of a â€œfirefall,â€ and rolling hillsides blanketed with brilliant wildflowers.

Travel through the Pacific Northwest and trace early pioneer landmarks, stand among the skeletal remains of what was once the largest waterfall in the world, encounter a rolling masterpiece of red and yellow hillsides, and explore rocky shores home to some of the most violent displays of raw Pacific Ocean power. After youâ€™ve experienced the thrills of the Pacific, head back east toward the Rockies and find rocks that sing, disappearing rivers, and an unknown valley of cotton-candy-colored cliffs.

These are only a fraction of the sites what youâ€™ll come across in this book that covers over 130 hidden gems found in the western United States. Throughout this entire book, youâ€™ll find beautiful photographs brilliantly showcasing these stunning destinations and fascinating insights into the geology, cultures, and environments of these places that will allow you to appreciate all the spectacular sights upon your arrival.

Every entry also includes essential information, such as hours, admission prices, and pet policies, not to mention many specific tips that have been gleaned from hundreds of hours of research and personal experiences. Directions and â€œbig pictureâ€ maps to each place are also provided as are distances and estimated travel times to nearby attractions and major cities that make planning your trips much more efficient.

Not only will you be helping yourself find out all the need-to-know info on these places but youâ€™ll also be benefiting a tremendous cause with your purchase of this book as 25% of the profits from sales of this e-book will be donated to programs that focuses on helping children gain access to national parks.
