This won't replace a guide with hotels and restaurants, but it's a terrific companion guide for doing the Rockies by car. It shows you how to Montana's Medicine Lake National Wildlife Refuge, home of one of the largest white pelican rookeries. It can also explain for you the bloody history of Idaho's White Bird Hill Battlefield as you drive past on U.S. 95 and perhaps turn off Wyoming's Route 120 for a rest in Thermopolis, with its hot mineral waters and cool shaded banks by the Bighorn River. The book's 160 pages include 150 color photos and maps, and 20 detailed driving itineraries.

Good Sight Seeing Guide for Rocky Mountain Area Travel August 11, 2002
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is a good sightseeing guide that should help anyone who is interested in traveling the Rocky Mountain States by car.Arranged by state, the book highlights different attractions in each area. It also suggests driving loops, designed to hi-light the highlights while traveling a circular route along major highways. This is certainly designed well for someone who is unfamiliar with the area and wants a travel itinerary laid out with suggested sights and attractions. Accommodations or restraints are not listed, so one would have to look to another guide or the internet for those. This book can get you started with your destinations, however.
Lots of insight, too few images May 14, 1999
11 out of 16 found this review helpful
I bought this book expecting a sort of National Geographic pictorial - and therefore a lot of landscape shots of the Rockies. I was dissapointed. Though the book is well put together and the photographs are decent, this is not a good book to get if you're looking for photographic examples of the rockies. If you're looking for the story behind the rockies, 5 stars. If you're looking for pictures, 3 stars (at most).
