Summary: This was the best guidebook I found for New mexico
Review: I browsed many guidebooks in bookstores and read several from the library before settling on this book to take with me to the Southwest.The writer writes well and she is not afraid to offer candid opinions of hotels and tourist sites. She's a New Mexico native and shares her passion for the state with the reader. ** I especially liked the lists of top attractions by type in the front of the book: Best of Natural New Mexico, Best Scenic and Historic Drives, Best Outdoor Activities, Best Family Experiences, Best Historic Hotels, etc. (there are 12 of these lists). These lists helped my companion (my 13 year old son) and I get our hands around the diversity of this state and plan just what we most wanted to do during our one week in the Southwest. Once we narrowed down what we wanted to do, the book was arranged by region, listing all the other things we could do while in that area. Other good companion books for this trip were Tony Hillerman's novels set in Navajo country and the book, Roadside Geology of New Mexico. The Frommers book for Arizona has the same organization and is very good, but not quite as good as this book.

Summary: Leave home without it
Review: I just took a week-long trip to New Mexico and gave up using this book after the first day. I found my free AAA New Mexico Tourbook far more complete and informative.
