The British Isles and Germany are the historic heartland of the hostel movement, and they're the heart of this book, too, with over 600 hostels-lodgings with shared rooms-between them. They have private rooms, too, of course. And the Benelux countries and Scandinavia are no slouches, either. Then there's East Europe-Poland, Ukraine, Russia, and the Baltic countries-a new frontier just waiting to be explored further. Do you already know how to travel? Do you just want to know where the hostels are, so that you can plan a hostel-based trip along the highways and byways of North Europe, in the major cities, smaller towns and remote villages, too? Then this is the book for you. This is the most comprehensive hostel guide ever written, encompassing the old youth hostel movement and the modern phenomenal spread of backpackers' hostels around the globe as well. That ranges from the dozens of the most modern 'flash-packers' hostels in the urban centers of London and Berlin to remote wilderness hostels in Ireland and surfers' camps in Sweden. Sound good? Are you afraid that maybe you're too old for a hostel? Don't worry; most hostels have no age restrictions. And they all have English-speaking staff and internet capabilities. Most even have kitchens. Some even have bars. All have cool people as guests. The 1000 hostels listed here are to be found in over 250 cities and places in north Europe from Dublin to Moscow, and Oslo to Munich. C U there.

This book transports you into the wilderness of New York State's Adirondack Park; a protected area not unlike what the Native Americans first encountered. Between 1998 and 2013, the author made twenty-four canoe excursions into the back reaches of the park; two-thirds of the time as a solo explorer and the rest with family. Most of the trips were in the off seasons, when few other campers were encountered, but wildlife abounded. Starting in 2005, at the age of 62, and with very little previous artistic experience, the author began a series of twenty-four exquisitely detailed pencil and graphite pictures drawn onsite during his treks into the wild. Each adventure is a short story onto itself, but interwoven within the narrative are the struggles everyone faces as they age. Hand-drawn maps and detailed descriptions of each trip, make this book a useful travel guide for future Adirondack adventurers.

Explore the fascinating natural beauty of a state not recognized for its scenery through the wide variety of parks and natural areas that many have never enjoyed. Be surprised by the diverse and beautiful landscapes of Illinois. After visiting these special places with this book in hand, you may never think of Illinois as "flat and boring" again This is not a technical treatise but a guide for everyone to experience the physical beauty that Illinois has to offer. Exit off the Interstate highways and find these unique areas set aside for public enjoyment. This book introduces you to the amazing geological background of 28 Illinois park areas and other sites. Parks with mainly historical or recreational emphases may or may not be included. Unlike other publications, this volume focuses on giving you the necessary background to understand the origins of natural features seen in parks and on Interstates leading to them. Keep it in the glove compartment of your vehicle so you can enhance your visits to geologically significant parks in the Prairie State.

Included in the book are chapters on how to travel, when to travel, why to travel and where to travel, in general and in North America in particular. There are also introductions to all cities with hostels, with historical and geographical background information and personal vignettes from the author's experience. Mostly, though, there are comprehensive listings of all the quality hostels in North America, with complete specs and contact info. Now, when advance booking isn't possible, you can book right up to the last minute. Or maybe you've never stayed in a hostel. Then you really need this book. Hostels aren't just for youth any more, nor for budget travel. They're for all ages and budgets. Have you been to Europe before, staying in hostels all over, and wondered why there were so few in the US, and so hard to find? Well, you've come to the right place, and I'm happy to report that American hostels are alive and well, and on the verge of breaking big any day now. Already the two coasts have quite a few and the interior is gradually filling up in places like Chicago and New Orleans. The surprising thing is that the quality is actually quite good, up to modern 'flashpacker' standards, so it's just a matter of time before any place worth its name will have a good hostel or two, or ten or a hundred. Canada's got a head-start, with European-like hostel numbers and quality already in places like Montreal and Vancouver, and some wilderness-based hostels that remind you just where the term 'backpacker' came from in the first place. Very few countries have the nature to compete with that. So what about good ol' Mexico? Well, I've saved the best for last. Greece has got nothing on Mexico's Caribbean coast, and Mexico City has more hostels than any other city in North America, followed closely by Oaxaca and long-time backpack fave San Cristobal de las Casas. You heard it here first. Now not only will you have WiFi and kitchens and fellow travelers where you stay, but you'll have a safe haven and a home-away-from-home and a language you understand. Vamos a la playa.

Arizona State Parks have a lot to offer. They are the most scenic places in the state; they include canyons, deserts, lakes, mountains, ancient ruins, rock formations, cactus forests and scenic drives. Many people think that Arizona as nothing more than a giant hole in the ground and surrounded by sand dunes. Many think there's only one season, and that it never snows. Of course, if these individuals would ever visit Arizona, they'd see that Arizona is the most beautiful place in the world, and when it comes to snow, we certainly can hold our own. It's no wonder why so many Americans flock to Arizona, to witness the rich beauty it has. In this guide, you will find information about Arizona's many state parks.
