Skip the Crowd

About this book

Every famous sight in the world has a queue. And almost every one of them has a quiet place just beside it that the queue walks straight past. In Skip the Crowd, travel writer Callum Reyes, who has never once made the connecting train, shows you where the crowd does not go. He takes you to the rim of the Grand Canyon that nine out of ten visitors never see, to a peaceful corner of Yosemite whose grandeur many have compared with the famous valley, and to the section of the Great Wall that a China travel guide recommends for the holidays, when the most famous section can be too crowded.
