Destinations

Pick a region, then go deeper. Each destination hub connects the hikes, itineraries, stays and Worth It? decisions from trips we actually took.

United States

National Parks

Big hikes, alpine lakes, Going-to-the-Sun Road and the east-vs.-west planning decisions that matter.

Classic overlooks, South Kaibab below the rim, shorter hike options and the quieter North Rim.

Giant sequoias, exposed granite domes and the Kings Canyon day we would tell everyone not to skip.

Kīlauea Iki, Nāhuku and Chain of Craters Road on the Big Island.

United States

Volcanoes, manta rays, coffee, snorkeling, black and green sand, and road trips worth slowing down for.

Pearl Harbor, Makapuʻu, Lanikai, Kualoa and a North Shore beach-hop in one whirlwind day.

Canada

Banff, Lake Louise, Jasper, Yoho, the Icefields Parkway and the hikes worth building a trip around.

Crypt Lake, mountain scenery and an easy addition to a Glacier National Park trip.

Europe

Ring Road freedom, huge hikes, geothermal rivers and the famous stops we would—and would not—prioritize.

Seceda, Sassolungo, Lago di Sorapis, Tre Cime, Cadini and the hikes and stays we’d build a trip around.
