USA & Canada - Lonely Planet (PDF) >


1. Vail, Aspen & Central Colorado (PDF Chapter) Lonely Planet

Central Colorado is where you can find the most trillion-dollar sights, run the gnarliest rivers, charge the sickest runs and choose one hike that is sure to save your citified soul.

2. Lake Tahoe - California (PDF Chapter) Lonely Planet

Lake Tahoe is the USA’s second-deepest lake and, at 6255ft, it’s also one of the highest. The sun shines on Tahoe three out of four days in the year, making it a top destination for both sum-mer and winter activities.

3. Yosemite & Sierra Navada (PDF Chapter) Lonely Planet

The eastern spine of California is a formidable but exquisite topographical barrier enclosing magnificent natural landscapes, majestic national parks, decomposing ghost towns, bubbling nat-ural hot springs, ancient rock formations and Native American tribes that still call it home.

4. Rocky Mountain National Park & Northern Colorado (PDF Chapter) Lonely Planet

With one foot on either side of the Continental Divide and granite behemoths in every direction, Colorado’s northern mountains provide a glimpse of the top of the world. Here, the northern Rockies make an irresistible call to mountain-lovers, regardless of the season.

5. British Columbia (Chapter) Lonely Planet

Visitors to British Columbia (BC) are never short of superlatives when writing their postcards home. It's hard not to be moved by towering mountain ranges, wildlife-packed forests and uncountable kilometers of pristine coastline.

6. Alberta (PDF Chapter) Lonely Planet

Alberta is home to Jasper and Banff, two of the world’s oldest national parks which, despite their wild and rugged terrain, remain well-trammeled and easily accessible. Edmonton’s fringe theater festival is the world’s second largest, while Calgary’s July ‘Stampede’ is as unapologetically ostentatious as the city that hosts it.
