“Southwestern Adventure by Michael Royea contains masses of handy information including the best roads to travel, accommodation options, and opening hours. I like the way the book commences with a handy map and itinerary. Mesmerizing accounts of violent history accompany location descriptions, adding action and suspense. The exciting explanations made me feel as though I was at each place. Moreover, I loved the way each detailed travelogue was accompanied by high-quality original photographs. These amazing images transported me through time and space, so I felt I was visiting the site. I am not often blown away by a travelogue, but this journey truly lived up to its name and delivered a reading adventure! “
