AUTHOR THANKS Regis St LouisThis book is dedicated to the many talented editors I’ve worked with at Lonely Planet dur-ing the past 11 years. Special thanks to Suki Gear and Kathleen Munnelly, who have helped create many world-class guidebooks over the years. I consider myself blessed to have known you. Your dedication, creativity and good humor will be sorely missed. Wishing you all the best in future endeavours and a lifetime of rewarding adventures.

Kudos to my top-notch coordinating authors on the Pacific Northwest (whose information I adapted for this book), Celeste Brash and Brendan Sainsbury. A big hug to commissioning editor Suki Gear – thanks for the gig and best of luck in your coming life adventures. And finally, I could not have done this book without the support of my parents and brother.
Michael BenanavBig thanks to Suki for convincing me to drive to all the little corners of New Mexico, a state that I love – and for her pitch-perfect blend of profes-sionalism and humor. Also to Kelly and Luke, who always let me go, and always let me come back.
Greg BenchwickSpecial thanks to my friend and commission-ing editor Suki, my coordinating author and the rest of the Lonely Planet team.
Sara BensonThanks to Suki Gear, Sasha Baskett, Alison Lyall, Regis St Louis and everyone at Lonely Planet for making this book happen. I’m grateful to everyone I met on the road, from park rangers to beer geeks and foodies, who generously shared their local expertise. Big thanks to my Golden State friends and family, especially the Picketts, Starbins and Boyles. Jonathan, you kept on driving, even when you didn’t know exactly where we’d end up – thank you.
Alison BingHeartfelt thanks to Lonely Planet guidebook mastermind Suki Gear, managing editor Sasha Baskett, and coauthor and fellow ad-venturer John Vlahides; to intrepid research companions Sahai Burrowes, Haemin Cho, Lisa Park, Yosh Han, Rebecca Bing, Tony Cockrell and Akua Parker; but above all to Marco Flavio Marinucci, who made a Muni bus ride into the trip of a lifetime.
Catherine BodryThanks to Suki Gear for commissioning me, Celeste Brash for frantic last-minute help, and the gang at Lonely Planet for all their work.
Celeste BrashThanks to my family for helping me research beaches and mountains some days, and get-ting on at home without me on others. To old friends who I found scattered across Wash-ington: Oliver Irwin, Kati Halmos Jones, Dan Jones, the Forster family and Jackie Capalan-Auerbach. And to new friends I made: too many to mention!
Gregor ClarkThanks to all the generous fellow Vermonters who helped with this project, especially John McCright, Sarah Pope, Namik Sevlic, Saba Rizvi, Sarah Shepherd, Sue Heim and David Alles. Love and thanks as well to Gaen, for sharing my excitement about exploring that next side road, to Meigan for giving me hugs at deadline time and to Chloe, whose infec-tious love of climbing Mt Mansfield barefoot always makes me smile.
Lisa DunfordSo many kindred spirits on the Utah road – thanks to all, including Karla Player for the beautiful craftsmanship. Karen and John, it was great having a chat. And I’m so glad I got to reconnect with my friend Trista Kelin Rayner; wishing her and daughter Mechelle all the best.
Ned FriaryThanks to all the people I met along the way who shared their tips, including the helpful folks staffing the counters at the local tourist offices. A special thanks to the rangers at the Cape Cod National Seashore and to Bob Pres-cott of the Massachusetts Audubon Society for sharing their one-of-a-kind insights.
Michael GrosbergSpecial thanks to Carly Neidorf, my some-time trip and otherwise companion; my par-ents, Sheldon and Judy for advice; to Kristin Mitchell and Claire Shubik on Pittsburgh; Darrah Feldman on Milford; Rebbecca Steffan for Adirondacks help; Gregory Henderson in the Catskills; Julie Donovan in the Laurel Highlands; Nina Kelly in the Brandywine Valley; and Terri Dennison for Route 6 insight.

Thanks also to the super Jennye Garibaldi and Mara Vorhees. Finally, thanks to Rob Smith for the laughs and letting me bring home Baggo.
Adam KarlinThank you to the Lonely Planet crew: Regis St Louis, for coordinating this beast; Michael Grosberg, the understanding , gracious and ever helpful coordinating author of New York & the Mid-Atlantic’s Best Trips; the fabulous in-house team of Suki Gear, Bruce Evans, Alison Lyall, Emily Wolman and Jennye Garibaldi. Thanks to Mom and Dad for raising me the way they did, and to Rachel Houge, my wife, greatest fan and best friend. And finally, thank you Lonely Planet. You let me wander the world and write about it. That’s a blessedly exciting and rewarding way to make a living.
Mariella KrauseThanks to Suki Gear for an amazing year full of Lonely Planet goodness, and to Jay Cooke for getting me involved in the first place. And thanks to all the amazing people I met on the road who served as a constant reminder of what traveling is all about.
Carolyn McCarthyI’m indebted to the good people of the Rocky Mountains. Special thanks to Lance and his Ouray friends for the bed and BBQ, Melissa and Steve for the Billings grand tour, the amazing Jones in Steamboat and Jennifer in Crested Butte.

generous Conan Bliss. Virtual beers go out to Regis St Louis, Greg Benchwick and Chris Pitts for being great to work with.
Brendan SainsburyThanks to all the untold bus drivers, tourist info volunteers, restaurateurs, coffee baristas and indie punk rockers who helped me during my research. Special thanks to my wife Liz and seven-year-old son Kieran for their com-pany on the road.
Caroline SiegThanks to everyone who shared their tips with me and for the friendly conversations at lobster shacks, ski resorts and brewpubs. A very special thank you to the Schmidt family who keep me coming back to New England year after year.
Adam SkolnickThanks to Stephanie Greene, Dana McMahan, Carla Carlton, Phoebe Lipkis, Kristin Schofield and Louisville Basketball in Louisville; Jennifer Bohler and Shanna Henderson in Nashville; Nealy Dozier, Walter Thompson, Chloe Friedman, Lydia Hardy and Chi Bui in Atlanta; and Keith, Peggy and Melissa in Natchez. My love and appreciation go out to best Savan-nah buds Alicia Magee, Anna Cypris Jaubert, and (by proxy) Joe Bush. Thanks also to Suki Gear, Regis St Louis and the whole Lonely Planet team. It’s a joy and privilege to work with and know you all!
Ryan Ver BerkmoesSerious thanks to my parents, who believed in the value of road trips, and my sister, who always sided with demanding that the motel pool have a slide. In South Dakota I saw high-school winter formal date Sue Hegland (who’s followed the unworn path out of Santa Cruz, CA, to the Plains). At Lonely Planet, wide open thanks to Suki and Regis for their hard work. And more special thanks go to unnamed Plains cooks and bartenders everywhere.
Mara VorheesMy heart goes out to all the victims of the Boston Marathon bombings, all of the run-ners and the city as a whole. Patriots Day has always been about facing challenges with courage – it’s now true more than ever. Bos-tonians love their city. Love will prevail.
Karla ZimmermanMany thanks to Carrie Biolo, Lisa DiChiera, Lea Dooley, Jim DuFresne, Ruggero Fatica, Mark Fornek, Jonathan Hayes, April Ingle, Julie Lange, Kari Lydersen, Melissa McCarville, Betsy Riley and Neil Anderson, Susan Hayes Stephan, Andrea and Greg Thomson, Sara Zimmerman and Karen and Don Zimmerman. Thanks most to Eric Markowitz, the world’s best partner-for-life, who indulges all my hare-brained, pie-filled road trips. Sorry about the bug bites.
