GrassRoutes Guide Books

Destinations

GrassRoutes Guides are a new kind of travel series made for locals and visitors. Quite simply, there’s nothing like them out there and we are steadily growing our number of destinations around North America. Get clued in on all the businesses and activities that give back to the community, environment and local economy – each GrassRoutes review features our own icon system so you can see if they’re composting, giving their employees health care, or bringing people together to delve into culture, history, or education.

So far we’ve got three books out, San Francisco, Northern California Wine Country (A Green Road Trip), and Oakland and Berkeley, with Portland and Seattle soon on their way. Other cities we’re soon to compile are Austin, Vancouver, New Orleans, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, and California’s Central Coast. We’ve got more info on those places here online so you can get a taste of what’s coming in our guides.

Use the drop-down menu on our “Destinations” tab to get under the skin of these great cities and regions, or click below to grab a copy of our guidebooks and read up on the cities we’ve already got volumes on!

Enjoy, and get lost to get found!
