About this book
The Rough Guide to Southwest USA is the ultimate travel guide to the fabled American West. Explore ancient Native American cliff dwellings and pueblos in Canyon de Chelly and Mesa Verde, delve into the region's Hispanic past in the adobe-lined streets of Santa Fe and mission churches around Tucson, and follow in the footsteps of Wyatt Earp in Tombstone, the Wild West town "Too Tough to Die."
Spectacular national parks like Zion, Bryce and the Grand Canyon - as well as Monument Valley and its iconic red rock buttes - are illustrated in their full colour glory, and the guide is packed with easy-to-read maps, along with suggested itineraries and authoritative, up-to-the-minute restaurant, bar, hotel and nightlife reviews. Whether you want to drive Route 66, hit the Strip in Las Vegas or visit modern day trading posts to buy Navajo rugs or Hopi kachinas, make the most of your holiday with The Rough Guide to Southwest USA.
