Hidden New Mexico: Including Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Taos and the Enchanted Circle Review

Hidden New Mexico: Including Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Taos and the Enchanted Circle

We live in New Mexico, and every holiday or free weekend we use this guide to lead us to new exciting and beautiful places. This book is the perfect travel companion for anyone interested in smaller, off the beaten path places. This book led us to discover Las Vegas, NM, a (yet) not so touristy place unlike Taos or Sante Fe. Thanks to this guide, we enjoyed the free road side Hot Springs located in a pristine alpine valley, and delicious restaurants that put the more known places to shame. It has small eateries and interesting museums, parks like the little known Three Rivers Petroglyph National Monument with thousands of drawings, on the way from Socorro to Alamogordo. Yet again, this is a place not mentioned in other tourist maps or books. I would recommend for anyone really interested in traveling through New Mexico to also have DeLorme Topographic Map of New Mexico with them for references and the smaller roads. The general RandMcNally or AAA maps just don't cut it. Those topo maps are only about 16 dollars and will work great with the Hidden New Mexico book or any travelguide. Check out Chaco Canyon National Monument as well, and stay in El Rancho Hotel in Gallup, you will not believe your eyes! That was also a tip from the Hidden New Mexico book. Enjoy the most beautiful state in the nation (I am biased, I know)!

Travel Smart: New Mexico Review

I used this book to help plan a trip to the Southwest. I found it pretty informative with accurate information. The descriptions were accurate as well and it helped to get the most out of the days. I do wish it listed more in the way of hotels but it is really more of an activity book than a complete planner. All in all it was a good book and I would use it again. The suggested schedules were helpful as well.

Fodor's In Focus Grand Canyon National Park, 1st Edition Review

We bought this little guide as we were getting ready to visit the Keys for the first time. It served us so well- like a tour guide in my pocket! It takes you through all of the Keys, beautifully organized by the different islands, with maps that allows you quick reference to "key" places. We used it to visit the "off beat" places that many tourists miss but makes sure to guide you to the very popular attractions as well. Thanks to this little book, our reservations were made before we left and we were not disappointed.This trip for us was a short one, only 6 days, and without this guide, we would not have made the most out of the time we had. From places to stay, things to see and do, and historical references we felt totally oriented to the islands before the trip began. It made the trip easy, relaxing and a whole lot of fun!
