USA lonely Planet Travel Guide
Travelling in the USA is a lifetime addiction: snow-capped peaks, red-rock deserts and cliff-hugging coastlines are just the beginning...
Lonely Planet’s USA is your passport to the most relevant, up-to-date advice on what to see and skip, and what hidden discoveries await you. Catch a Broadway show in New York, marvel at the Grand Canyon, and drive the Pacific Coast Highway.
Regis St Louis describes why he loves the USA. "In an increasingly globalized world, I love how you can find so many unique pockets of culture amid America's 50 diverse states. Truth be told, each could be a country unto its own, from Washington's forest-covered San Juan islands in the Pacific Northwest to the Cajun fiddle halls and alligator-filled cypress swamps of Louisiana. In between you have soaring mountains, dune-covered deserts, oceanlike freshwater lakes, and countless miles of coastline studded with beaches and barrier islands - not to mention grand cityscapes where you can cross continents just by heading to another part of town."
