Boston and Beyond

The Boston region is overrun with classic beauty—cityscapes, snow-capped mountains, tranquil harbors, and sleepy historic hamlets. Show-stopping, scene-stealing, I-pulled-over-for-this charm exists in every season all over the place in this Boston region. All you have to do is open your eyes and see it. Boston Road Trips takes readers on nearly 30 tours—in Boston or an hour or two from the city—through one of the most idyllic parts of America in a wholly unique way.

Guiding travelers on a journey, Boston Road Trips invites them to wander down city streets in a whole new way, meander on backroads and scenic trails, and venture to cozy locales that make the region enchanting. From morning fog laced through the fingers of trees bursting in reds and oranges to a stoic sailboat reflected in the stillness of a hot, June sunrise, these sweet scenes come to life, illuminating the quiet brilliance that lives inside each day.

Accompanied by sumptuous photography, Boston Road Trips is a visual love song honoring the essence of what makes the region singular and guides readers to dozens of places that offer hidden charm, fun, novel discoveries, and original experiences. The locations featured in this book are within striking distance of Boston, allowing for convenient day trips and enjoyable excursions to charming locales.
