High-energy recreation, stylish lodgings, 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 series of guidebooks indispensable.
