Do you love the outdoors but not necessarily sleeping outdoors? Who says being outside must mean roughing it? High-energy recreation, stylish lodging, superb dining, and civilized relaxation make the ultimate getaway mix. If you like to play hard during the day—hiking, biking, paddling, skiing, sightseeing, or shopping (yes, there’s sport in shopping)—but rest easy at night—dining in an elegant restaurant and sleeping in an upscale inn—you’ll find this guidebook indispensable.
