Backroads & Byways of Arizona: Drives, Day Trips & Weekend Excursions

Arizona has long captured the hearts, minds, and souls of those who step inside its boundaries. Dry, dusty deserts suddenly bloom into colorful life; birds and wildlife that thrive here are found in few other places in North America; and striking vistas abound--mountains and mesas as far as the eye can see. From the deserts near the southern border to the pine tree forests along the central Mogollon Rim and back to the west "coast," where the Colorado River flows, longtime resident Jackie Dishner is your guide to all the wonders Arizona has to offer. This is the authentic Arizona, with all its quirks, cultures, history, and flavor.
