The Play Hard Rest Easy Series

"One great guidebook...we wish all guidebooks were as good."
NEW YORK MAGAZINE
         

tinynewengland:      tiny carolina cover:      tinynmaz:

Do you love the outdoors but not necessarily sleeping outdoors? Who says being outside must mean roughing it? 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.
