Description:

Bordered on the east by picturesque bluffs overlooking the Mississippi River and to the west by the Loess Hills stretched out along the Missouri River, you’ll find tucked among the swaths of corn a slower pace of life. From historic sites and charming villages to world-class dining, Michael Ream provides a set of travel itineraries for exploring all aspects of the state. More than 100 full-color photos bring these varied venues to life.
