1,000 Places to See in the USA and Canada Before You Die

1,000 Places to See in the US and Canada Before You Die (ISBN 0761147381, 2007) is a book written by Patricia Schultz as a follow-up book to 1,000 Places to See Before You Die.

The listing below is divided into sections like the book, and each listing appears as it does in the book. Places that are in more than one state are listed in each state. When a location wasn't given in the book, a descriptor has been added for ease of finding each place. Some places do not exist as a comprehensive unit, such as New Haven Dining or The Lighthouse Trail in Maine. In these cases, there is no information listed here, you can find the individual places listed in the book. Businesses (food, lodging) that are mentioned in the text of each place are also not listed here.
