Book Review of Adventure Vacations: A 50-State Guide to Rock Climbing, Horseback Riding, Spelunking, Whitewater Rafting, Snorkeling, Hang Gliding and Ballooning

reviewed on + 625 more book reviews


Arranged alphabetically, each illustrated adventure is easy to access and is cross-references in the index. Each chapter describes in detail what it really feels like to do that particular adventure, what you need to know to begin, and where the best places are, region by region.

The book contains information on a large number of types of "adventure" you might have on a vacation, including some non-typical things like train tours and ballooning. There is very brief information on a number of suppliers of each type of adventure. The commentary provided on each is brief and to the point.
