Most hikers are at-
tracted to Whiteoak
Canyon for its waterfalls
– there are six in total,
with the tallest topping
out at 86ft high. At the
Whiteoak parking area,
you can make a 4.6-mile
round-trip hike to these
cascades, but beware –
it’s a steep climb up and
back to your car. To reach
the next set of waterfalls,
you’ll have to add 2.7
miles to the round-trip
and prepare yourself for
a steep (1100ft) elevation
shift.The Limberlost Trail
and parking area is just
south of Whiteoak Can-
yon. This is a moderately
difficult 1.3-mile trek into
spruce upcountry thick
with hawks, owls and
other birds; the boggy
ground is home to many
salamanders.
The Drive » It’s about 3 miles
south of Whiteoak Canyon to the
Hawksbill area via Skyline Dr.
9 Hawksbill Area
Once you reach Mile
45.6, you’ve reached
Hawksbill, the name of
both this part of Skyline
Dr and the tallest peak
in Shenandoah National
Park. Numerous trails in
this area skirt the sum-
mits of the mountain.
Pull into the parking
area at Hawksbill Gap
(Mile 45.6). You’ve got
a few hiking options to
pick from. The Lower
Hawksbill Trail is a steep

WHy THIS IS A CLASSIC TRIP aMY C BaLFOUr,
WriTEr
A drive on Skyline Dr – one of the
USA’s original scenic byways – is
good for the soul. Lined with
overlooks and trailheads, the road
twists above the Shenandoah Valley
through Shenandoah National Park,
sharing a beautiful combination
of two distinct ecosystems: the
rocky, forested mountains of the
Appalachians on one side, and
the manicured hills of the Virginia
Piedmont on the other. This trip
includes hearty fare and unique
accommodations along the way.

6 Long Beach Island Only a very narrow inlet separates this long sliver of an island, with its beautiful beaches and impressive sum-mer homes, from the very southern tip of Island Beach State Park and the northern shore towns. Within throwing distance of the park is the landmark Barnegat Lighthouse (%609-494-2016; www.state.nj.us/dep/parksandforests/parks/barn-lig.html; off Long Beach Blvd; lighthouse adult/child $3/1; hstate park 8am-6pm, light-house 10am-4:30pm), which offers panoramic views from the top. Fishers cast off from a jetty extending 2000ft along the Atlantic Ocean, and a short nature trail begins just in front of a visitor center with small history and photography displays.
Nearly every morning practically half the island is jogging, walking, blad-ing or biking on Beach Ave, the 7.5-mile stretch of asphalt that stretches from Ship Bottom to Beach Haven (south of the bridge); it’s a great time to exercise, enjoy the sun and people-watch. Tucked down a residential street is Hudson House (%609-492-9616; 19 E 13th St, Beach Haven; hnoon-2am Jul & Aug, 8pm-2am Fri & Sat Apr-Jun & Sep-Dec), a nearly locals-only dive bar about as

WHY THIS IS A CLASSIC TRIP BriaN KlUePFel, WriTerFrom demure Cape May to reborn Asbury Park, you can see everything – the good, the bad, the ugly – Jersey has to offer on this drive, town-hopping via narrow causeways connecting this fantasyland archipelago. Wrestle with the one-armed bandits of Atlantic City or clamber up lung-busting lighthouses, sip local wines or scarf down pork rolls; from a whisper to a shout, this trip has it all.

OUR WRITERS
OUR STORYA beat-up old car, a few dollars in the pocket and a sense of adventure. In 1972 that’s all Tony and Maureen Wheeler needed for the trip of a lifetime – across Europe and Asia overland to Australia. It took several months, and at the end –
broke but inspired – they sat at their kitchen table writing and stapling together their first travel guide, Across Asia on the Cheap. Within a week they’d sold 1500 copies. Lonely Planet was born.
Today, Lonely Planet has offices in Franklin, London, Melbourne, Oakland, Dublin, Beijing, and Delhi, with more than 600 staff and writers. We share Tony’s belief that ‘a great guidebook should do three things: inform, educate and amuse’.
