Backroads of North Carolina: Your Guide to Great Day Trips & Weekend Getaways

Moving to NC in a few weeks! Learning about it’s history and places to visit! Have already marked day trips that we want to take! Really like the directions!

This was a gift. I did not read it.

I am looking forward to taking some trips around the state once Covid is over. There are so many interesting things to do and see in North Carolina from waterfalls and mountains to beaches and bird watching. The author pointed out interesting snippets of historical events and places that are still around to look at as well as some interesting back roads travels to amazing sites. I have many dog eared pages of locations I would like to travel to and photograph. Something to look forward to seeing!4 star only because I wish there were more pictures and bigger maps. But as the author pointed out, if there were pictures of everything the book would be gigantic.

This book is a wonderful aid to 1)understanding the overall geography of the state and 2) to developing a list of most interesting places. It offers beautiful photographs and just enough detailed context. This one is a keeper and worth every penny.

I'm using this book for my motorcycle weekend trips. Great suggestions and great roads can be found here. I plan to ride all routes just for fun.Most of the time I use the book as a guide but mark in my GPS the routes before leaving home. I also use the internet to do some research about restaurants and add them to my route. This way I can ride to a certain place and find good meals before riding back.Sometimes I join two or more routes together to create a longer trip. Easy using the method I described above.After all that, all I have to do is follow the directions from my GPS. It has worked every single time. The result is a great ride that also allows me to get to know NC better.Last, but not least, the images in this book are really good. I'm a photographer and Mr Adams has a good eye for color and composition. This is not amateur photography inserted in a book with sloppiness. No sir. Some of the pictures here are quite incredible and very well edited.I bought other NC guides. This is the one I decided to follow first.

This is an enticing overview but short on details. Lots of very pretty pictures get you dreaming about road trips, but look elsewhere for practical information.

I think its the best guidebook to North Carolina's weekend excursions and get aways. I suggest you try to buy your copy in the off tourist season. I bought mine for $8 last winter, a reasonable price I'd say. Enjoy the ride, Sincerly, Adam
