Beautiful Vistas
This collection has some of the most beautiful views and also some of the most breathtaking views I have seen. Hat's off to Reader's Digest for a well documented production.

What great memories!
I bought this for my parents as a gift. They have traveled, by RV, all over the US. While they have seen move of these places, they said it was just wonderful to see them again. Brought back a lot of memories and they had some rather nice conversations about what we did while on these journeys. Also, being older, my parents have started having health issues and this has made them feel a little better! Highly recommend.
