OUR READERSMany thanks to the travelers who used the last edition and wrote to us with helpful hints, useful advice and interesting anecdotes: Debra Janis, Fergus & Lorraine Maclagan, Jaye Albright, Julie Homer.

AUTHOR THANKSSARA BENSONThanks to everyone at Lonely Planet for making this book happen, to all of my co-authors for all of their help and to everyone I met on the road who generously shared their local expertise. Big thanks to my Golden State friends and family, especially the Picketts, Starbins and Boyles.

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. Many thanks go out to the talented Rachel Dowd and virtual beers go out to all

my colleagues for being the best to work with.

RYAN VER BERKMOESSerious thanks to my parents who believed in the value of road trips and my sister who always sided with demanding the motel pool have a slide. Endless gratitude for fruitful support and golden advice from Alexis during my journeys near and far.

KARLA ZIMMERMANMany thanks to Lisa Beran, Lisa DiChiera, Jim DuFresne and Susan Hayes Stephan. Bucketloads of appreciation to Lonely Planeteers Sara Benson, Amy Balfour and Ryan Ver Berkmoes for the help. Thanks most to Eric Markowitz, the world’s best partner-for-life, who indulges all my harebrained, pie-filled road trips. Sorry about the bug bites.

PUBLISHER THANKSClimate map data adapted from Peel MC, Finlayson BL & McMahon TA (2007) ‘Updated World Map of the Köppen-Geiger Climate Classification’, Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 11, 1633–44.
