Personal Review: Backroads of New England: Your Guide To
New Englands Most Scenic Backroad Adventures (Pictorial
Discovery Guide) by Kim Knox Beckius
When fall comes in New England, the trees turn into a splendid mass of
reds, oranges and yellows that temporarily distract us from the coming
winter. At the same time, the first fresh snowfalls have a special beauty
that New Englanders love as well. But the first blush of spring causes a
special joy to burst out from our hearts. In the lazy days of summer, we
love to watch the wind blow the grasses and trees from languid poses.
At any one of those times, I find myself thinking how much fun it would be
to see some new sights in the context of those favorite New England
conditions. In the forty years I've lived in New England, I've found many of
my favorite locations purely by accident. The back roads are always the
best. But I don't have the time to randomly drive all the back roads to find
the best ones.
That's where Backroads of New England comes in. Kim Knox Beckius has
found 30 delightful drives over back road that mix scenery, history, culture
and just plain fun. I have taken about half of the drives in the book, so I
can swear by those. I am looking forward to doing the rest now that I know
where to go.
How can I tell I would like the others? First, Ms. Beckius provides helpful
essays about where to begin, what to see, and what to stop and do along
the way. She even includes some suggestions for hiking to beautiful
waterfalls. Second, William H. Johnson's gorgeous photographs colorfully
illuminate the main sights for each drive. Whether you love covered
bridges, snow-capped peaks, delightful streams, pounding surf, or
mysterious vistas, you can page through the book to find the places that
speak mostly fervently to your soul.
The book is also organized by state. So if you are planning to go just to
Maine and arrive by air in Portland, you can simply focus on the Maine
trips and those in New Hampshire and northeast Massachusetts that are
not too far away. If you live in New York, and want to drive for no more
than two hours, you can focus on that radius in western Connecticut and
Massachusetts.
I have been looking at travel guides for New England for many years. I've
never seen a finer one for back roads adventures.
Give it a try!
