Nelles Guide Reiseführer USA: Der Westen

Travel Destinations: Choose from 15 individually curated routes across the western USA. The Nelles Guide takes you from Los Angeles and San Francisco through Las Vegas, the Grand Canyon, and Monument Valley to the Native American sites in the Southwest, as well as to Houston in Texas. From Seattle, the Northwest is explored, including Yellowstone National Park and Vancouver in Canada.

Land and People: The Wild West has been tamed; cowboys work on guest farms, and Native Americans operate gaming casinos in their reservations. California, once the destination for gold seekers and later for hippies, is now a high-tech region. The Nelles Guide familiarizes you with the "American Way of Life."

Travel Information: At the end of each chapter, addresses of restaurants, national parks, and museums are summarized in info boxes. Practical tips from A to Z, as well as information on rental cars and RVs, complemented by a detailed hotel list, can be found at the end of the book.
