The Great Minnesota Touring Book

Minnesota -- The Land of Sky-Blue Waters, the Land of 10,000 Lakes, the Star of the North, the Singing Wilderness, birthplace of the Ol' Miss. Sounds like a prime place for a road trip! Pack up the tent, lace up those hiking boots, rack the bicycles, and load up on towels for the swim-happy pooch! This one-of-a-kind travel guide searches out each and every nook and cranny of this magnificent state, the Minnesota you know and love (Boundary Waters, Lake Superior North Shore) and the Minnesota you likely don't (Springfield soda pop, Madison lutefisk, Barnesville's Potato Days). Native Great Laker and incurable road warrior Thomas Huhti searches out the hidden gems and underappreciated highlights along the state's most scenic back roads. This is a guide designed for well-seasoned visitors and armchair travelers alike. Whether looking for a glacial lake to canoe, a forest trail to traipse along, or a historic mansion to snoop around in -- it is in this detailed guide.
