Hidden Southwest

Including Arizona, New Mexico, Southern Utah & Southwest Colorado

By Richard Harris

NEW TRAVELER-FRIENDLY FEATURES: Author Picks, 3-Day Getaway Itineraries, Walking Tours, Web Sites.  Unique lodgings like a monastery, a tepee, a 200-year-old hacienda, a floating home and a fire lookout station.  Native restaurants including 47 featuring Southwest cuisine and 25 serving authentic Mexican food.

Guiding travelers through the vast region known as the American Southwest can be a daunting task, but Hidden Southwest’s focus on exceptional choices makes it an engaging, readable and extremely helpful guide.

Rather than simply cataloging Arizona, New Mexico, Southeast Colorado and Southern Utah as many guides do (and the Internet does even more), Hidden Southwest is a guidebook that truly guides. It recommends the attractions and amenities worth visiting—both on and off the beaten path (something the Internet does not do). Once these carefully selected choices are honestly reviewed by the author, travelers are referred to each listing’s web site for more information and color pictures.
