Waterton Lakes National Park is a place "where the mountains meet the prairie," a unique juxtaposition of prairie flatlands and some of the most ancient mountains in the Canadian Rockies. Protecting 525 square kilometres (203 square miles) in the southwest corner of Alberta, the park is bordered by British Columbia on the west, Montana to the south and to the north and east by forest and private lands. A World Heritage Site, Waterton Lakes National Park and Montana's Glacier National Park are designated as the Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park, a symbol of peace and goodwill between Canada and the United States and a partnership of shared resources. The author grew up in the Canadian Rockies and has been exploring them since she was a child. The Canadian Rockies are one of the world's most popular tourist destinations, with four million visitors annually. Easily accessible adventures include walking, hiking, mountain biking, fishing, boating, horseback riding, skiing and wildlife viewing - with some of the most spectacular animals in North America. Where else can you spend the morning hiking through spectacular wilderness and by afternoon enjoy high tea in one of the grand hotels? The guide is filled with inside information on how to avoid the tourist traps and where to find the special places off the beaten path that the tourists don't know about; the most worthwhile outdoor adventures and indoor activities; the hotels and restaurants at all price levels that are the very best; plus tips on places to avoid. Each chapter covers transportation to and around the park, where to stay and eat, attractions and shopping, plus adventures, from drives to day hikes, rafting to cycling. Competing guides focus on the standard tourist sites (where the crowds can ruin your experience), while we take you to the lesser-known spots (restaurants, lodges, hiking paths), which are often more rewarding.

"Of the three Germany guidebooks I used, this one was the most useful and not only because it covers so many places that the others simply ignored. The accommodation lists are very useful."-Jane S, Amazon.com "Great to see a guidebook on Germany in English by an author who realizes that Germany is more than Berlin and Munich. Not that the well-known areas are neglected but I particularly enjoyed the wide coverage."-Steven, Amazon.com. The Romantische Strafle (Romantic Road) is the most popular of Germany's roughly 150 vacation routes. It connects several romantic sights along a 210-mile route from Wurzburg on the Main to Fussen at the foot of the Bavarian Alps. En route, it passes romantic towns, hamlets, castles, and churches. Rothenburg ob der Tauber and Schloss Neuschwanstein are the two most popular sights on the route. The Bavarian Alps are astonishingly beautiful. The Alps suddenly rise out of green meadows, making any approach from Munich or the north spectacularly beautiful. The mountains are easily reached from Munich by road or rail and are popular for day-trips. In additio.

The Wine Seekers' Guide to the Livermore Valley is the first exclusive guide to this little-known wine region, introducing adventurous wine lovers to more than forty wineries, the owners and winemakers, and their superb wines. The Wine Seekers' guides lead you to delight-filled locales where exceptional but perhaps unheralded wines are produced with old-world quality by families eager to share not only their award-winning products but also their harmonious lifestyle and welcoming communities with you. In addition to the in-depth chapters showcasing the wineries, we have included a selection of enticing things to do and see and places to stay while exploring the region, such as a ride on the historic Niles Canyon Wine Train, a memorable dinner at Wente's award-winning restaurant, hiking, biking, visiting the museums and galleries, savoring the concerts and festivals and enjoying the enchanting town and village experiences in Livermore, Pleasanton, Dublin, and Danville. Ask any Livermore Valley winery owner to succinctly state their reason for being in the profession, and I can guarantee you the word "fun" will strategically show up somewhere in their reply. In some ways the Livermore Valley wine industry is not really about wine-it's all about families working side by side, not only growing and nurturing grapes and wine, but along the way strengthening and tightening the bonds of culture and family, and ultimately their sense of community. The largest and oldest continuously operating, family-owned winery in America is Wente, and it is incredible how many younger winery owners sing the praises of the Wente family, and how they went out of their way to help them get established. The Wine Seekers' Guide to the Livermore Valley provides directions, operating hours, and contact information for each winery, a map of the region, recommendations for where to stay, and a detailed restaurant guide.

With as much variety of clubs as water sports, there's plenty of scope to enjoy both the beach and the nightlife. The largely flat island is easy to explore by bicycle, but whether by car or by bike, tours will lead you to beaches that are practically deserted, out-of-the-way villages, and the famous Asklepion, a unique mix of ancient sanatorium and temple complex, all of will be encountered when following the 'Perfect Route' across the island. MARCO POLO Kos does more than just invite you to explore the 'island of Hippocrates'. Its central position in the Dodecanese means that neighbouring islands can easily be reached by boat, including the sponge-fishing island of Kalimnos and the volcanic island of Nisyros. And whether by car ferry or excursion boat, it's just a short hop across to Turkey. Insider Tips point you to the Kos Aktis Hotel, an art hotel right on the sea, and Bubble Beach, which has a little surprise in store for snorkelers. The Best Of pages sum up what's typical for Kos, recommend places to go for free, and have tips for rainy days and where you can relax and unwind. Panels in each chapter suggest things to do if you're on a tight budget and where to pick up some real bargains. The Sports & Activities chapter has information for rock-climbing and horse-riding in stunning landscapes, while Trips & Tours includes a bike ride along the north coast and trips to neighbouring islands. Finally the Dos & Don'ts tell you why you should never disturb a siesta but why you should definitely heed the traffic regulations. MARCO POLO Kos provides comprehensive coverage of the island. To help you get around there's a detailed road atlas inside, a useful map of Kos Town in the backcover, plus a handy pull-out map map.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This ebook is an EXCERPT from the full-length guidebook "Universal Orlando 2013: The Ultimate Guide To The Ultimate Theme Park Adventure." "An Utterly Unauthorized Guide To Harry Potter at Universal Orlando" provides an in-depth guide to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, the newest "island" in the Islands of Adventure theme park, part of the Universal Orlando Resort complex. The Wizarding World represents an extraordinary achievement in immersive theme park design. Created to the exacting standards of Harry Potter creator J.K. Rowling, the Wizarding World takes visitors to Hogsmeade village and the imposing Hogwarts Castle where Harry, Ron and Hermione are in training to become wizards. The ebook describes in detail attractions like Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey, which has taken its place as the most spectacular theme park ride in the world. Dragon Challenge is a thrilling dual coaster based on the Triwizard Tournament from the books and Flight of the Hippogriff is a coaster for less daring visitors. It's all here, every ride, every attraction, every restaurant, every shop and and every dispenser of Butterbeer. This ebook will reveal hidden secrets and often overlooked details to increase your enjoyment and allow you to cast your own magic spell during your visit to Harry's Wizarding World.
