**With 1,000 adventures for all ages, it is never too soon or too late
to discover new sights and novel experiences throughout North America.
**
When it is time to escape the ordinary, this guide is where you will
find fun, fantastic, and life-affirming activities: do something
different, go beyond the tried and true, experience the U.S. and its
neighbors anew. It is perfect for recent graduates, soon-to-be retirees,
inveterate daydreamers, armchair travelers, and anyone dreaming about a
much-needed break from the daily routine.
The nation's best travel experiences are organized by theme, with
chapters divided by region and entries organized geographically and
indexed by state. Among the wide array: natural wonders, cultural
experiences, culinary delights, self-improvement vacations,
sports-related endeavors, and more. Track Alaska's "big five" (grizzly
bear, caribou, gray wolf, moose, and Dall sheep) in Denali National
Park, ski the Canadian Rockies, trace historic Route 66, make a
pilgrimage to Elvis's Graceland, or take a culinary tour through Mexico
City.
This volume is the perfect gift for passionate travelers
--a coast-to-coast listing of museums, historical sites, monuments,
islands, inns, natural wonders, and more. Also included are activities
for people of all ages: be a zookeeper for a day, direct a movie, learn
to play an instrument...the possibilities are endless.
