Since it was first published in 2013, ""The Big Divide Travel Guide"" has made its way into thousands of glove boxes and travel bags. Inside this completely updated edition you'll find themed driving tours, over 130 recommended sites, suggestions for kids and parents, maps, and the insights of two experienced road trippers."
