      Like most people who grew up in southern California, I've visited Disneyland numerous times over the years. Even though I am familiar with some of the park’s secrets, like “hidden Mickeys” and the face of the Wicked Queen that appears every few minutes at a window in Sleeping Beauty’s Castle, I had no idea there could be enough history, secrets, fun facts, and insider tips to fill an encyclopedia. All I could say was, “Wow!” as I turned the pages. ...

      There are some place names in America that immediately conjure up images of outdoor adventure: Moab, UT, Bend, OR, Jackson Hole, WY, to name but a few. Las Vegas, NV, though? Not so much. For the majority of the 40 million+ people who visit the city every year, Las Vegas is a place of gaming, girls and gun ranges, somewhere to lose yourself in a haze of hedonism. ...
