Review

"Don Kurz, a writer, nature photographer, and longtime employee of the Missouri Department of Conservation, has drawn on his countless trips into the Ozarks and Ouachita Mountains and his vast knowledge of the vacation and recreational facilities of the region and its landscapes, wildlife, and plants to compile a truly outstanding guide to a series of one-day trips."
--The Ozarks Mountaineer


"In this fascinating guide, you can find information on a wide range of back roads and out-of-the-way places that offer vistas as beautiful as any you'll see in the world."
--Springfield News-Leader

From the Back Cover
Pack up the car and enjoy thirty-three drives that highlight the natural and cultural history of the Ozarks and the Ouachita Mountains - a geologically complex and fascinating region that extends across five states but lies mainly within Missouri, Arkansas, and Oklahoma. This indispensable highway companion maps out leisurely day trips that lead to old-growth forests, prairies, cliffs, caves, fens, springs (including the largest in the United States), creeks, and rivers - with plenty of opportunities to observe and enjoy a diversity of plant and animal life along the way.
Join writer and nature photographer Don Kurz on an exploration of the Ozarks that takes you from the homestead of Daniel Boone and the 250-foot-deep Blue Spring in the north and central sections to the prairie landscapes and the restorative hot springs of the western and southern Ozarks.

Inside you’ll find:
• Individual itineraries from 5 miles to 95 miles in length
• In-depth descriptions of attractions along the way
• Maps outlining each route
• Historical information and suggested side trips
• Tips on camping, travel services, and best driving seasons
