Publisher Comments:

Tired of the same old tourist traps? Take the road less traveled and uncover the hidden attractions, unique finds, and unusual locales other guidebooks just don't offer. Off the Beaten Path® features the things you’d want to see—if only you knew about them! From the best in local dining to quirky cultural tidbits, you'll say over and over again: "I didn’t know that!"

Discover a different side of our nation's Capital! Search for the American equivalent of the Phantom of the Opera in the National Theatre; find beauty and peace at the U.S. National Arboretum, which includes the National Bonsai and Penjing Museum and the National Herb Garden; or experience the best mac and cheese ever at Dish. So if you've "been there, done that" one too many times, get off the main road and venture Off the Beaten Path.

Itineraries include chic shopping in La Jolla, an island getaway to Santa Catalina, and sun and snow at Lake Arrowhead and Big Bear Lake. Each escape includes recommended restaurants and accommodations as well as information on special events, attractions, and more.
