Trip Ideas


Colorado High Country

The ascent from Denver to the breathtaking vistas of Colorado’s Rocky Mountains graduates from bustling cityscape to groves of snow-dusted pine and spruce, a constellation of mountain towns and mining hubs of yore. Here, the peaks are epic in scale, unbelievable in their beauty. The I-70 mountain corridor brings families who traverse it up to a host of backcountry riches, where fairy-tale snowscapes abound.


Texas’ Palo Duro Canyon

The badlands of Palo Duro Canyon are among Texas’s most famed sights, a spectrum of colors and light that inspire local artists and travelers alike. The Canyon is known for its geological wonder-sights, its hoodoos and cave systems. For explorers, this Texas treasure offers a chance to contemplate the deep time told of in the rock—and bask in the momentary pleasures of water and light.


Georgia’s Golden Isles

The South’s coastal Lowcountry is a unique intersection of land, sea and fertile abundance. The complex interweave of coastal waters, forests and age-old towns makes it a landscape suited to endless exploration—those road trips where time slows down, screens fade out and the textures of the real world come into focus. Georgia’s Jekyll Island—one of the “Golden Isles”—concentrates this allure.

Northern Michigan

Northern Michigan doesn’t have precise borders. But as travelers get closer to the fingertips of “The Mitten,” at a certain point they’ve entered a distinct realm. Glimmerglass lakes, pink-streaked skies and shaded woods alternate with time-honored towns and majestic, otherworldly sand dunes. Beloved by both generations of vacationers and proud, steadfast locals, this road-trip wonderland combines a homey sense of tradition and plenty of fresh, enterprising energy to discover.
