★ The most vivid and up-to-date travel guide to the American West written by American professional writers!

This book provides a more realistic look at the American West, which has changed rapidly in recent years, than any other book.
This book is the result of two veteran travel writers' long-term living experiences and meticulous reporting, condensing the latest information on the American West, including information on the home stadiums of the LA Dodgers and SF Giants, where Korean players play, how to watch games, hot places introduced on TV entertainment shows, the revamped skyline of the American West and sophisticated art spaces, tips for making reservations for national parks, and tips for enjoying theme parks including how to use the official Disneyland app! This book avoids sponsorships and only introduces practical information and travel know-how accumulated by personally visiting every corner of the American West, making it the standard guidebook for traveling the ever-changing American West in detail.


★It couldn't be more friendly and detailed! The ultimate travel bible for the American West.

A trip to the vast and unimaginable American West requires an accurate and detailed guidebook written by an expert.
Because climate and environment vary by state, travel planning can be challenging. Insights that capture the essence of the vast information available, encompassing major cities and national parks, are essential. This guide provides comprehensive information on attractions and transportation options for major cities like LA, San Diego, San Francisco, Las Vegas, and Seattle, as well as helpful information on smaller towns nearby. It also includes the most up-to-date travel tips for 31 national parks, the largest selection among domestic guidebooks.
From visually stunning restaurants and shopping spots to incredibly detailed road trip itineraries and popular theme park itineraries, regional lodging types and selection tips, five recommended itineraries and detailed city-specific courses, step-by-step travel planning tips, currency exchange rates and currency conversion information, tips for traveling with children, and even stories about American culture that will awaken the excitement of travel! This is the ultimate guidebook for the American West, allowing anyone to plan their trip with just a quick glance.

★The vast American West at a glance! Easy-to-understand layout for beginners.

This book is organized in a chronological order to help novice travelers get a quick overview of the American West and easily plan their itinerary.
Starting in San Francisco, California, you'll follow the book's itinerary through the locations, and the simulation of your western adventure will give you a sense of security.
We've included helpful basic information and concept maps for each region, including states, cities, and national parks, to help you understand.
The city is organized into a way to easily understand the city at a glance through best attractions, concept maps, and detailed maps.
This book contains an unparalleled wealth of information, yet it's presented in easy-to-understand illustrations and tables! The striking photos alone allow readers to grasp the atmosphere of the site, while also providing a variety of convenient features.

★All the hottest social media spots, gathered here! A world of Instagrammable flavors

Based on their extensive knowledge and experience of American food culture, writer Jaymin, who served as an advisor for the TV entertainment show "Street Food Fighter 2," and writer Min Go-eun, who is well-versed in local conditions, generously revealed Western food and SNS spots that they personally tasted and filmed.
A pilgrimage to the breadbaskets of the American West, a café tour in the home of Blue Bottle and Starbucks, a tour of craft breweries and Napa Valley wineries, fresh and plentiful seafood, street food, and the soul food of international students, Chick-fil-A, will take you on a journey into the world of healthy flavors of the American West.
It's packed with fun and useful reading material, including tips for choosing steak and meat sandwiches, tips for properly savoring Tex-Mex, a Mexican-American dish, useful menu items to know when ordering, and American tipping culture.


★Over 3,500 breathtaking photos captured by a professional photographer! Includes photo spots and photography tips!

Cities across the American West exude a unique atmosphere and sensibility that excite travelers.
This book magically unfolds the mystical scenes of national parks like Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon, captured through the viewfinder of author Jaymin, who is also a photographer. It also captures the breathtaking aerial photos of the American West, where helicopter and light plane tours are popular, and the lively and lovely cityscapes of the city.
Additionally, the best photo locations in the American West, as well as photo spots and viewpoints in each city and national park, are revealed! Each page is beautifully organized and emotionally designed, offering helpful tips for capturing stunning photos at each location.


★From road trips to public transportation, a thorough analysis of the enjoyable American West!

The western United States has a very high satisfaction rate for road trips.
In addition to the distances and times required for planning a car trip, we also carefully considered how to get between cities so that you won't be lost in areas with limited travel information or poor communication.
It also contains a surprisingly large amount of practical information, from how to rent a car to vehicle types, U.S. traffic laws, how to read road and parking signs, and how to use parking meters and gas stations. It even provides detailed and practical information by checking unpaved roads, trekking courses, and national park access roads that are difficult to check with Google Maps.
We've also carefully compiled detailed public transportation route maps, pass information, and tips for using ride-hailing services in major cities like San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle, and Portland.


★Even beginners won't have to worry about their schedules! From basic itineraries to detailed recommendations for each city.

Beginner travelers often feel overwhelmed by how far they should go and how long they should spend exploring the vast American West.
This book provides a detailed itinerary that I can confidently recommend to first-time travelers to the American West.
We offer five thematically-based itineraries for mid- to long-term travelers of 1-2 weeks or more, including a California circuit, a Rocky Mountain circuit, a Western U.S. core road trip, and a transcontinental trip along Route 66, as well as detailed recommended itineraries by city and national park for short-term travelers of 3-5 days.
In addition, we've introduced a half-day itinerary using public transportation, following an easy-to-follow route, so you can use it to your advantage both when preparing for your trip and while you're there.
