ROAD TOURS OF THE SOUTHWEST -- National Parks & Monuments, State Parks, Tribal Parks, & Archeological Ruins is a 17-volume mini-series based on select and popular tourist hubs. For instance, Flagstaff and Kayenta, Arizona; Cortez, Colorado; and Albuquerque, New Mexico. Each educational and informative tour begins and ends in key sectors of the Colorado Plateau Province (aka "The Four Corners region"). Thus, a so-called GRAND CIRCLE tour saves readers (and drivers) time and distance between each scenic destination. The scenic icons in these regional sectors also explain the essentials such as geology, natural and human history, hiking trails and supplemental details (where applicable), contact information, and directions. The listed destinations are arranged in a linear fashion (i.e., a direct connection), but appear in alphabetical order in each book, and, therefore, the reader chooses what to read and how much information to peruse.ROAD TOURS OF THE SOUTHWEST can be purchased individually or as a combined set that appeals to one's interest (i.e., national parks and monuments, state and tribal parks, and archeological ruins presented in each book). What sets this compendium apart from other similar subject matter is the interpretative and highly informative format where the information is "layered." Thus, graduating from the most essential to more detailed information. Again, the reader chooses what to read or skip over.
