Library Journal
Grab this guide, hop in the car, and tour the beautiful sights of North Carolina, from Kitty Hawk to Linville Gorge, from the Smoky Mountains to Ocracoke Island. Parent, who has contributed other volumes in the "Scenic Driving" series, as well as photographs for nature magazines, details 30 driving tours through the rural delights North Carolina has to offer. The state abounds in forests, national historic sites, and parks. Each tour includes a map with the recommended time of year to appreciate the scenery (some drives should not be tackled in the winter). While addresses and phone numbers for local tourist bureaus are provided, no information regarding accommodations or restaurants is given. Still, this is an excellent addition to regional travel collections.--Linda M. Kaufmann, Massachusetts Coll. of Liberal Arts Lib., North AdamsBook Details
