Canada’s border authority expanded on its decision to bar Pacific Crest Trail hikers from crossing into the country earlier this week, noting that its new policy mirrors the United States’ refusal to permit southbound hikers to begin their hikes by crossing the border into American territory.

In , the Canada Border Service Agency (CBSA) confirmed it would no longer issue permits for PCT hikers to cross into E.C. Manning Provincial Park at the trail’s northern terminus, and said that the change would “facilitate monitoring of compliance of trail users” as well as increase security at the border. In addition, the agency noted that the move “aligns with the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) who does not allow travellers to enter the U.S. from Canada on the trail.”

Northbound thru-hikers will now need to end their trips by backtracking to the nearest road crossing at Harts Pass, roughly 30 miles away; those who still wish to hike the extension of the trail into Canada will then need to travel to the nearest border crossings at Osoyoos or Abbotsford, both of which are roughly 60 straight-line miles from the trail.

In a blog post, the called the announcement “disappointing,” but acknowledged the CBSA’s points, including that the new policy mirrors one that the U.S. has long held.

“Hikers and equestrians should turn around after reaching the Northern Terminus,” the group wrote. “We ask that everyone travels with the utmost respect for nature by practicing gold standard Leave No Trace practices. This area will experience increased use now that more people are traveling this section of the PCT twice.”

The change comes at a tense time for U.S.-Canada relations, as on imports from it and Mexico on February 1 if the two countries don’t take steps to deter unauthorized crossings. This week, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police unveiled a new fleet of leased Black Hawk helicopters that it is using to step up enforcement along the border.

Winter adventures are a headache. It’s nearly impossible to stay warm and dry when you’re shifting between moving quickly with a heavy pack and then taking a rest beside a snowy trail. Down puffy jackets can be too warm when I’m on the go, and breathable midlayers aren’t warm enough when I stop. But after many years of searching, I’ve finally found one do-it-all layer, built with a revelatory new technology that checks all my boxes.

By combining the warmth of a midweight puffy with stellar breathability, this new heavyweight midlayer from Bozeman, Montana-based technical apparel maker Sitka does it all. Sitka developed a single upper body insulation piece that will keep you comfortable not just in very cold weather, but also while sitting inside a heated vehicle or building: the .

I’m wearing this miracle layer as I write on an airplane flying from Bozeman to Midland, Texas. When I left home this morning it was dumping snow, and 13 degrees Fahrenheit outside. It’s probably 70 degrees or so on this plane. When I land in Texas, it will be 50. And when I wake up tomorrow morning, somewhere out by Fluvanna, Texas,Ěý it’ll be 32. I’m wearing the Sitka Ambient 200 jacket over a light merino wool T-shirt. I won’t need to add or subtract a layer to remain comfortable throughout the duration of this trip, no matter if I’m hiking through the pre-dawn desert, riding around in a pickup truck, or sitting in a deer stand.

The Perfect Winter Jacket

Ambient 200

How does the Ambient 200 manage to provide insulation when you need it, and breathability when you don’t? It’s built with Primaloft Active. I’ve written about the material before. In short, its synthetic, recycled-polyester fibers mimic the structure of animal fur with an open, fuzzy construction. The loft created by that fur-like material traps a ton of warm air when you’re holding still. But as you increase the pressure inside that next-to-skin environment when your body moves and heats up, there is virtually no resistance as the warmth is pushed away from your body. That “fur” is housed inside a very light nylon face fabric that resists wind and precipitation without restricting breathability.

What makes this jacket different is that it’s much heavier than Sitka’s previous offerings, which have weighed anywhere from 75 to 150 grams-per-square-meter (GSM). The 75 weight is about as warm as a normal fleece jacket. The 150 GSM jacket is as warm as an ultralight puffy (and notable in its own right for that performance). This 200-GSM puffy? It’s as warm as the thickest insulated jacket you’d ever want to layer under a shell—but appropriate to wear in a huge variety of conditions.

Sitka is the only clothing maker serving the American market that currently uses Primaloft Active. The brand’s designer, John Barklow, was the guy who commissioned the creation of the Polartec Alpha back in the early aughts when he was designing clothing systems forĚýSpecial Operations Forces fighting the global war on terror. Twenty years later, very few consumer-facing brands have adopted Polartec Alpha, and Barklow has already moved the fabric technology game even further.

Primaloft Active maintains equivalent breathability to Polartec Alpha, a fabric light enough to barely be noticed, across a heavier range of fabric weights and insulation levels. So, in the Ambient 200, I get as much breathability as a lighter Alpha piece, with more than double the potential for warmth.

Planning to drive anywhere in sub-freezing weather this winter? Go ahead and crank your car’s heat up to 72, turn on your seat heater, and you’ll be totally comfortable wearing this thing over a light base layer. But when you step out to fill up with gas in 10–degree temperatures, you’ll remain comfortable.

Going skiing at a resort? I don’t know about you, but I need to carry a day pack that’s awkward and uncomfortable to wear on the lift. That way, I have a place to stick my puffy jacket when I get too warm.ĚýWith the Ambient 200, I won’t have to change layers on the mountain at all.

I can wear the Ambient 200 in and outdoors at home as I walk the dogs, chop firewood, shovel, and come back inside.

Primaloft Active wicks moisture outwards with incredible efficiency, thanks to the raw fibers of polyester. Polyester fibers can’t absorb water and have a small surface area (the end of the thread) where it touches your body or base layer. Thanks to the larger surface area along the length of that thread, surface tension draws moisture outwards and spreads it out so that water can evaporate. Primaloft Active works with your technical base layers to keep you dry.

A very light 20-denier nylon ripstop shell enables Sitka’s Ambient range to shed a little wind or precipitation without adding any additional bulk or restricting breathability when worn under a shell. A wind-resistant shell (like a rain or ski jacket), adds at least 10 degrees Fahrenheit of additional comfort.

Venting heat when you’re moving, wicking moisture away from your skin, providing a truly significant level of insulation when you need it turns the Sitka Ambient 200 into a multitool for cold weather comfort. If you see me skiing, hiking, driving, chopping wood, or working outdoors this winter, I’ll be wearing the Ambient 200.

Fly to Florida for $39! Act now and get round-trip airfare to Denver for $79! Budget airlines advertise ridiculously cheap flights to cities across the country. They can be enticing, but do the deals hold up when you read the fine print?

My wife and I jumped on one of those deals a couple of years ago to fly Allegiant Air to Fort Myers, Florida, for a long weekend for about $200 total. We could only take a backpack each, and had a dawn flight on a Monday to get home. Was the flight OK? It definitely wasn’t what I’d call “comfortable.” There wasn’t much leg room, the seats were thinly padded, and my wife was on the other side of the plane. But the price was too good to pass up, and we found sun and fun midwinter.

Expect tradeoffs with budget carriers, says Zach Griff, senior reporter at , a website that analyzes flight trends and credit-card points in order to uncover deals. Sure, he says, the fares are cheap, but these ultra-low-cost airlines are stripped of most of the inclusions you expect from traditional airlines. There are often extra charges to bring a carry on, reserve a seat, etc.

“Once you start adding in all the ancillary charges,” he says in an email, “the deal isn’t as good as it might’ve looked.

“That said, there are certainly deals to be had. For some people who don’t value these extras, flying on a budget carrier can pay off. Even when factoring in all the extras, it’s often cheaper to fly a budget carrier.”

What about the reliability of these smaller airlines? When weather and other delays affect airports, larger network carriers have more planes moving, which adds a layer of redundancy in their operations, Griff explains. A company like Delta can absorb that delay and get you on another flight within a few hours. But smaller, budget airlines often only have one flight a day, or just two a week in some markets, which could leave you stranded.

I’ve analyzed some of the most trusted budget airlines in the business, as well as some promising newcomers, to see how well their super-low prices hold up. I’ve also figured out the most adventurous locales you can get to by flying the fare-reduced skies. Here’s what I found.

1. Avelo Airlines

is a relative newcomer to the scene, introducing ultra-low cost airfares in 2021. The company has hubs in Hollywood/Burbank, California; and New Haven, Connecticut. Avelo operates a small fleet and essentially offers two different route maps serving mostly small regional airports. If either of those airports are convenient to you, you can get cheap flights to some pretty great destinations. Avelo does charge for add-ons like carry-on bags, but the fees are more reasonable than in some other price-cutting airlines.

Best For: SoCal and Connecticut-based travelers looking for vacation escapes on the cheap.

Adventurous Destinations: From New Haven, you can get to Charleston, South Carolina; San Juan, Puerto Rico; and Fort Lauderdale, Florida. From Burbank, you can go to: Bend, Oregon; Boise, Idaho, Bozeman, Montana; Colorado Springs, Colorado; Kalispell, Montana.

The Deals: From Burbank, you can find really good prices to any of the above cities Avelo serves. I found relatively last-minute round-trip weekend flights to Bend for under $200, and flights to Colorado Springs for $225.

The Catch: Avelo has few daily flights, so for you to get a good deal to a smaller destination, like Bozeman, one of your legs might have to be midweek. Also, if that return flight is canceled, you might have to find another way home.

2. Breeze Airways

took flight in 2018, serving mostly smaller, regional airports on the East Coast, but has steadily grown to reach more than 35 cities, including several key destinations in the Western U.S. The cheapest flights go through the company’s hubs in Charleston, South Carolina; Provo, Utah; Tampa, Florida; and New Orleans, Louisiana. Breeze offers some of the cheapest cross-country flights around, with three different fare classes—Nice, Nicer, and Nicest— to choose from, so you can pick how plain you want the experience to be. The airline never charges change or cancellation fees.

Best for: Flying across the country on the cheap.

Adventurous Destinations: Charleston, South Carolina; Las Vegas, Nevada; Los Angeles and San Francisco, California; Provo/Salt Lake City, Utah, Bentonville, Arkansas.

The Deals: If you live in a city that Breeze serves, there are tons of good deals, as long as you’re OK with the lack of frills, like paying extra for snacks and choosing your seat. I found round-trip flights from Phoenix to Provo/Salt Lake for $137. If you’re looking to go coast to coast, I found round-trips from Charleston, South Carolina, to San Francisco for $299. Keep an eye on their site for periodic sales with one-way cross-country flights for $29., which doesn’t seem like a fiscally responsible pricing scale to me, but who am I to judge?

The Catch: Destinations are limited and the base fare (Nice) is sparse on frills; you’ll have to pay to choose your seat, have a snack, or bring more than a small personal item. For the best deals on longer, cross-country flights you’ll probably have to fly midweek.

3. Allegiant Air

, an ultra-low-cost airline that’s been around since the late 1990s, serves more than 130 destinations in the U.S. The routes hit mostly smaller, regional airports, and Allegiant typically only offers two or three flights a week to each city. Allegiant, too, has taken “add-on” fees to new levels. You’ll pay extra for everything from a carry-on bag to a printed boarding pass (yes, you read that right). But with an expansive route map and But with an expansive route map and a large presence in big destinations like Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Phoenix, and multiple cities in Florida, Allegiant may well fly where you want to go, and for cheap if you can pack light and don’t mind risking a middle seat.

Best For: Impromptu getaways, and people who work from home or for any other reason can fly midweek.

Adventurous Destinations: Asheville, North Carolina; Bellingham, Washington; Bentonville, Arkansas; Boise, Idaho; Bozeman and Billings, Montana; Denver, Colorado.

The Deals: Allegiant offers really cheap flights all over its route map. I found mid-winter flights from Austin, Texas, to Provo/Salt Lake, Utah, for $100 round trip. From Chicago, you can escape the freezing cold with a round trip to Fort Walton Beach, Florida, for $120 in January. I like their interactive map, which allows you to put in your origin city and the date you want to travel and shows you the destinations served from that town as well as sample fares of one-way tickets. If you can fly mid-week, you can save a lot of money.

The Catch: Watch out for those add-on fees, and be prepared to fly midweek.

4. Southwest

is the oldest, and the king, of budget airlines. T, and feels the most like a traditional airline—the seats recline, and there are actually some free beverages and snacks. You even get two free checked bags, which is unheard-of, even on larger air carriers.

This airline has one of the most extensive destination lists, too, reaching 121 cities and 10 different countries. And now Southwest flies to multiple cities in Hawaii. It was also the airline that was hit the hardest during the winter storms that forced thousands of flight cancellations last Christmas. that Southwest was hit harder than traditional airlines because of their aggressive flight schedule (short turnaround times) and under-investment in staff. The airline returned to normal operations after the holidays.

Southwest isn’t classified as an “ultra-low cost carrier,” so you might pay a little more than for flights, but the extensive route map and quality experience might make the extra worthwhile.

Best for: Travelers who don’t want to sacrifice dignity for a deal.

Adventurous Destinations: Hawaii; Costa Rica; Bozeman, Montana; Salt Lake City, Utah; Montrose and Denver, Colorado; Seattle, Washington; Portland, Oregon; Reno/Tahoe, Nevada; San Diego, California, and more.…

The Deals: Southwest flies to Costa Rica, Belize, Puerto Vallarta, Havana, and the Bahamas, although they don’t fly to international destinations often, or from many U.S. cities. For good international deals, you have to plan your trip around the airline’s flight schedules. By checking their , you can find really good bargains between the larger U.S. Ěýcities that Southwest reaches. Skiers should definitely look into Southwest flights this winter. I found round trip tickets from Greenville, South Carolina, to Denver for a January trip for just over $300 per ticket. I found similar fares to Salt Lake City, Utah.

Southwest is also a good option if you’re looking to escape winter. I could fly to Miami from Greenville in the middle of the winter for $100 each way. Or, I could fly round trip to Hawaii from Atlanta for $520.

The Catch: Southwest’s pricing is straightforward, even if tickets are a bit more costly than those of the ultra-low-cost carriers on this list. But pay attention to the flight times and durations; the cheapest flights could be red-eyes with purgatory layovers. I once spent six hours in Atlanta’s airport to save some money and spent most of that time roaming the various terminals cursing my frugality.

6. JetBlue

Like Southwest, operates much like a traditional airline, with reclining seats in a plane that’s divided by class—you can pay more for extra leg room. It also offers some free beverages and snacks, plus free wifi with seat-back entertainment. Some large carriers don’t even offer free wifi.

JetBlue isn’t classified as an “ultra-low-cost” airline, but offers tickets that are usually cheaper than the larger airlines to certain destinations, and serves more than 100 different cities. The company’s main hub is JFK International, in New York, but it also has bases in Boston, Fort Lauderdale, Long Beach, and San Juan, Puerto Rico, which means you can usually find pretty cheap flights between these hubs. Thanks to that San Juan airport, JetBlue serves a lot of Caribbean countries, such as the Dominican Republic, Barbados, and Aruba.

Best For: Escaping to some place tropical.

Adventurous Destinations: San Diego, California; Denver and Steamboat Springs, Colorado; Bozeman and Kalispell, Montana; Las Vegas and Reno/Tahoe, Nevada; Asheville, North Carolina; Salt Lake City, Utah; Burlington, Vermont; Seattle, Washington; Vancouver, BC; multiple cities in Puerto Rico; St. Thomas, Virgin Islands; and all over the Caribbean.

The Deals: Honestly, the airline’s flights between major cities in the U.S. often cost the same price as traditional airlines. But with escaping winter in mind, I found round-trip tickets to San Jose, Costa Rica, from Atlanta for $400, and weekend flights to San Juan, Puerto Rico, in the middle of winter for $300 round trip.

The Catch: If you go with the lowest fares, you have to pay extra to carry on a bag or pick your seat. Also, cancellations or flight changes will cost you if you choose their cheapest fare.

7. Play Airlines

An Icelandic-based company, recently started offering service from four American cities—Baltimore; Washington, D.C.; Boston; and New York City—that gives East Coasters cheap flights to 22 destinations in Europe, and especially good deals to Play’s home base in Reykjavik. Don’t expect frills on the long, cross-Atlantic flights. You’ll pay for seat assignments and any checked bags, but if you can handle that, there are good deals. Also cool: If your ultimate destination is one of Play’s other European cities, you can request an extended layover in Iceland for up to seven days between flight legs.

Best For: That trip to Iceland you’ve been dreaming about.

Adventurous Destinations: Reykjavik; Amsterdam; Dublin; Prague; Mallorca; Vienna; and more.

The Deals: I found round trip tickets from New York and Washington, D.C. to Reykjavik two weeks from the date of my search for $233. If you’re flexible and like the idea of flying to Europe at the last minute, Play could be for you; the airline announces relatively last-minute deals on their website regularly. When I looked well in advance, prices were also cheap. I found spring break trip options to Paris and Reykjavik in April from under $400 per round-trip flight.

The Catch: Flying to Europe last minute is a tough sell for some of us, and do you want to take that flight knowing you can only bring a backpack and can’t choose your seat?

Yes, I do.

There were already plenty of reasons to visit the region of QuĂ©bec: boating and wildlife-spotting on the St. Lawrence River, a slew of hiking and biking trails, natural beauty galore, local food, and much more. Now you can add sustainable travel to that list. A new zero-emissions train between and Baie-Saint-Paul in Charlevoix gives eco-conscious travelers a better way to visit these must-see regions. Here’s how and why to use the first-of-its-kind railway to plan a more sustainable trip to QuĂ©bec this summer.Ěý

Why Charlevoix?

How’s this for an origin story? The Charlevoix region’s unique topography was shaped by a meteorite that collided with Earth roughly 400 million years ago, leaving behind a 33-mile (54-kilometer) crater that is still visible today. If that geologic feature isn’t enough of a draw, many visitors also report feeling a particular magnetism and heightened energy at the site.Ěý

Regardless, you’re guaranteed to feel drawn to the stunning landscapes and scenic byways with panoramic views. You could fill a vacation with outdoor adventures, but of course there’s much more in Charlevoix. The local cuisine (imagine farm-to-table dishes with a European influence) and warm welcome are highlights of any visit. Because Charlevoix is only an hour north of Québec City, it’s easily accessible for international visitors. We recommend before catching the Train de Charlevoix to the next part of your adventure.

The Train de Charlevoix

For a scenic and sustainable way to travel between Québec City and Charlevoix, book a ticket on the . This privately owned railway is piloting a zero-emissions passenger train using Alstom’s Coradia iLint train, which is powered by green hydrogen—a clean, renewable energy source derived from splitting water molecules to create a renewable source of hydrogen power. While this green hydrogen power has been utilized in European transportation since 2018, this train is the first of its kind in the Western Hemisphere.

Aside from being a sustainable option for transportation, the Train de Charlevoix is an incredibly scenic way to travel the region. The 2.5-hour route runs along the St. Lawrence River, offering breathtaking mountain and river views between Parc de la Chute-Montmorency, located a mere 15 minutes from Old QuĂ©bec and the city of Baie-Saint-Paul. Fun fact: The railroad is owned by Daniel Gauthier, co-founder of Cirque du Soleil, so it’s no wonder the scenic ride feels like a show in itself.Ěý

The eco-conscious train operates from June 17 through September 30. Traveling outside of the summer service schedule? Charlevoix offers throughout the region.

Culture, Outdoors, and Cuisine

To experience arts and culture in Charlevoix, stop in Baie-Saint-Paul. Known as the birthplace of Cirque du Soleil, this charming city continues to foster creativity. Stroll Saint-Jean-Baptiste Street, where stilt walkers and fire eaters once performed. Today you’ll find an array of art galleries, boutiques, and artisans. Although the acclaimed circus arts troupe no longer performs in its hometown, you can catch a brand new show, , held in La Malbaie from August to October.

The area surrounding Baie-Saint-Paul is a hot spot for outdoor recreation. Get into nature with a hike in Charlevoix. With more than 340-miles (550 kilometers) of hiking trails in the region, there’s plenty of room to explore. Baie-Saint-Paul is also within proximity to , which has a variety of mountain biking trails for every skill level. And if you want a thrill, experience mountain views in on the scenic via ferrata route.Ěý

Want to sample local flavors? The Charlevoix food scene revolves around high-quality local ingredients. Everyone from local farmers to restaurateurs has a certain savoir-faire when it comes to sustainable food, and those values come across in the menus you’ll see throughout the region. Get the full Charlevoix culinary experience on the , which guides epicureans to the best food and drink in the region.

Nearby Québec City

A trip to Charlevoix wouldn’t be complete without a few days in Québec City. Visitors can experience the history and charm of Europe right in North America. Tour —a UNESCO World Heritage treasure and the only fortified city north of Mexico in the Western Hemisphere. Practice your French with friendly bilingual locals. Take your taste buds on a mouthwatering culinary journey inspired by the city’s French and Indigenous roots. Or explore , including Parc de la Chute-Montmorency and its 272-foot (83-meter) waterfall, or Parc national de la Jacques-Cartier, home to one of the province’s most beautiful glacial valleys.

Operated by Réseau Charlevoix, the vision of sustainable, eco-friendly development builds partnerships and drives local economic and social spin-offs. Their goal is to offer alternate, safe, respectful public transit and a unique experience in tourism—a spectacular one, in fact—between and coastal towns and villages.

Summer is here, which means swimming holes, camping, and road trips. The key to happy travel? Keep the spontaneity—take that hot springs detour—but don’t leave things like entertainment or that next stop to chance. To help you get the most joy out of your journeys, we asked seasoned whitewater enthusiasts and road-trip experts Emily LaPointe and her husband, David, for their best planning tips. Whether you’re heading out with family or friends, follow this advice to up your road-trip game.Ěý

Be Prepared

Before every road trip, we do a basic evaluation of our truck and trailer. Be sure to check tire pressure and tread, spare tires, and oil early on so there’s plenty of time to get your rig road-ready. If you’re using a roof rack, make sure it’s secure. For big cross-country adventures, we always pack a filled water cube, a fully stocked first-aid kit, emergency blankets or sleeping bags, warm layers, a box of protein bars, and a satellite communicator.Ěý

ĚýFinally, we make sure we have a money-saving fuel plan. For trips in the West, we use the şÚÁĎłÔąĎÍř Club rewards program at Maverik. As , we save ten cents (and sometimes more) on every gallon of gas in addition to other deals inside the store, and we know there are Maverik stations located near all of our favorite national park towns, like .

Keep It Positive

Two words: entertainment and snacks. Get these right and you’ll be ready for the longest days. We hit the road with a variety of music and podcasts—everything from classical bangers and stand-up comedy to bluegrass and adventure-themed podcasts, like Backpacker’s Out Alive (nothing beats survival stories when you’re about to launch on a remote river). Consider your audience (audio books are great for kids) and make sure to download your selections in advance to get ahead of any spotty service.Ěý

For snacks, we like to stock up in three categories: healthy, salty, and sweet. The variety covers all the cravings. We also like to grab extra pastries at Maverik like cinnamon rolls and cookies—which are baked fresh in the store—to share once we get on the river.

Know the Way

In our experience, the best road trips take you far from the most popular roads—sometimes very far. So it’s critical to have a paper map in addition to a navigation app, plus screenshots of driving directions. And for the most remote destinations, we always call the appropriate land management office to check on current road conditions. (We learned that lesson the hard way when we ran into a closed road on the way to the Green River and barely made it to the boat launch on time the next morning.)ĚýĚý

Stop at Maverik

Many of our river trips take us to beautiful parts of Wyoming, Idaho, Colorado, and Utah—all over the Intermountain West. And that usually means we can to stretch our legs, fill the tank, and use a clean bathroom. Well known as “şÚÁĎłÔąĎÍř’s First Stop,” Maverik is the perfect place to take a break and refuel for adventure. The burritos are made fresh daily and offer a flavorful, filling meal that’s easy to eat on the go. Before getting behind the wheel again, we usually treat ourselves to a caffeine fix with a freshly brewed coffee—iced or hot, depending on the season.

Make Time for Fun

Fishing stops. Roadside attractions. Picnics with a view. Impromptu hikes. These are the things road trips are made for. We like to stay fresh for these mini adventures by doing some light stretching to break up the long hours in the car. Pack a yoga mat or Paco Pad for this purpose, and keep your body primed for fun.Ěý

Asheville, North Carolina, is tucked into one of the most biologically diverse mountain ranges in the United States. The landscape is stunning, offering everything from above tree-line peaks to cool, sub-tropical forests ripe with waterfalls. Fortunately, a visit to Asheville can be adventurous, rewarding, and sustainable at the same time. Here’s how to plan a trip to this must-visit destination in the South and leave a minimal impact.Ěý

Plan Ahead

When visiting a new location make sure to plan ahead and learn the regulations that govern your destination before you go. Pack what you’ll need to adventure safely, if you’re exploring Pisgah National Forest, you’ll need extra layers for afternoon thunderstorms, snacks, and plenty of water. Wherever you are, stay on established trails, don’t forget to pack out all your trash, and keep your distance from wildlife. is a great resource for any questions about how to treat natural areas so these stunning places are around for generations to come.

Ditch the Crowds

Asheville and the surrounding mountains have become more popular in recent years, and several destinations have received unsustainable levels of visitation. The good news is there is plenty of room to spread out; Pisgah has 500,000 acres to explore. Instead of hitting hot spots, where you’ll have to crop the crowds out of your pictures, seek out peaks and trails, you’ll likely find something just as beautiful and maybe even more unique.Ěý

Pedal the ParkwayĚý

The Blue Ridge Parkway follows the ridgeline along the Southern Appalachians for 469 miles from Great Smoky Mountains National Park to Shenandoah National Park in Virginia. A choice section of the road wraps around Asheville through Great Smoky Mountain National Park and climbs up 6,214-foot Black Balsam Knob to the south and 6,684-foot Mount Mitchell to the north. Most visitors travel by car, but the 35 miles from Asheville to the top of Mount Mitchell (the highest mountain peak in the Eastern US) is worth a spot on any cyclist’s bucket list.

Support Sustainable BusinessesĚý

Asheville has one of the most progressive dining scenes in the country, with a number of restaurants exceeding North Carolina’s Green Dining Standards. It’s also loaded with vegetarian and vegan restaurants, offering you the chance to dive into a sustainable plant-based diet. , an award-winning vegan restaurant just north of downtown is a local favorite and has a way with grilling vegetables. Start with the grilled shishito peppers and carrots and finish with their tempeh-based chili con queso.Ěý

Give Back

Consider joining , a nationwide program designed to support the sensitive communities that receive pressure from adventure tourism. Asheville is the only destination east of the Mississippi that partners with this program, after visiting Asheville, you can text WILD4ASHEVILLE to 44321 to make a donation, contributing directly to the non-profit groups responsible for protecting and maintaining the wild lands you just enjoyed. You can also set aside a few hours during your vacation to volunteer with a local trail organization like and who host regular work days in the surrounding mountains.Ěý

Creating our annual Travel Awards package takes months of work by a large team. This time out, our travel editors unanimously decided to celebrate trips in the United States, because the pandemic reinforced what we’ve long known: there is a bounty of spectacular American destinations to share.

Next we tapped our vast network of expert travel writers, many of whom have been working with şÚÁĎłÔąĎÍř for 20-plus years. Our writers are constantly out there chasing adventure and collecting information on exciting lodging, trails, rivers, beaches, road trips, and other things to do. What they came back with was impressive—the research memo for this package was 117 pages long.

Then the really hard part began: whittling down an overwhelming number of choices into one winner and one runner-up in each category.

The map that has become a meme first began arriving in text messages, emails, and social media tags at least four years ago. Maybe you’ve seen it online, too—a Google Maps screenshot of the globe with a blue line that curves nearly 14,000 miles northward from Cape Town, South Africa to Magadan, Russia, arcing like a launched rocket through zones of extreme geopolitical turmoil. It is, allegedly, “the world’s longest continuous walk,” a fact I’ve never bothered to vet despite the dozens of friends who’ve sent it my way. I’m not very interested.

It’s true that I love walking long distances, whether that means going from Mexico to Canada via the Pacific Crest Trail or traversing entire states like Florida and Arizona a month at a time. But for me, hiking is a means to an end, never the end itself. I don’t want to walk the longest continual path so much as the most impactful ones, the ones that show me nature and beauty, myself and others, the present and especially the past from some surprising vantage. I suppose this viral trek would do the trick, but I’m not sure if it’s the best or most efficient way to encounter the unexpected I crave, at least compared to these ten hikes I’m determined to do in my time.

Rakiura Track, New Zealand

Distance: 20 miles
Time to Tackle: Three days
Terminus: Near Oban

Look at a map of Te Araroa, a 1,900-mile path that splits both the North and South Islands horizontally. Notice the dot of land just beneath the trail’s southern terminus? That’s Stewart Island, or , home to an eponymous national park and perhaps the most enticing of New Zealand’s ten Great Walks: the Rakiura Track. Kiwis take “tramping” seriously, devoting so many public resources to developing, protecting, and maintaining their routes that Americans can only be envious—or at least visit. Consider the Rakiura, which winds along near a series of bays and inlets (head out at night to look for kiwi feeding) and heads into forests of towering rimu. Enjoy three days of slow walking and reverie on isolated beaches, and choose from multiple huts (think Appalachian Trail shelters, but sturdy and clean) and campsites, ranging from $5 to $60 per night. And while I do love hiking in ankle-deep mud, officials work hard to curb the bog’s creep by packing down the trail. Thanks to flipped hemispheres, you’ll want to trek Rakiura—or tack it onto the Te Araroa—between October and March, when stateside hiking opportunities dwindle.

Greater Patagonian Trail, Chile and Argentina

Distance: 1,900 miles
Time to Tackle: A lifetime
Termini: Santiago, Chile (north), and Navarino Island, Chile (south)

I often lament that much of my hiking life happens on established trails, following routes that can be navigated via maps on apps. But what would it be like to really explore, to feel the frontier of modern adventure? For the next several years, the Greater Patagonian Trail should provide some answers. Dreamed up by German engineer Jan Dudeck and his dauntless Chilean wife Meylin Ubilla over almost two decades, the GPT, despite its name, is less a trail than a confederation of cattle paths, tiny roads, and otherwise unmarked expanses that you must make your own way through. Sure, the Pan-American Highway and Chile’s Route of Parks can guide you deep into some of the least developed parts of the planet, but no journey questions and expands the philosophical underpinnings of hiking quite like this one does. Can you negotiate your way through private land in Spanish? Can you slow down and embrace local culture and astounding beauty without feeling the American compulsion to finish, let alone finish fast? Can you accept failure, the most common GPT outcome, as a variety of success? With its stunning diversity of terrain and dependence on diplomacy, the GPT might be my ultimate trail—the one that, when I’m ready to commit, could be my final trek. Good thing Dudeck and Ubilla have yet to settle on its ends.

Ocean to Lake Trail, Florida

Distance: 61 miles
Time to Tackle: Four days
Termini: Lake Okeechobee (west) and Hobe Sound Beach (east)

I’m cursed to be a completist. The trait becomes arduous with through-hiking, where the desire to finish every side jaunt quickly piles on the miles. If hiking is partly about minimizing what you need, maybe I can learn to let completeness go, too? Some winter soon, I’ll head south to the Ocean to Lake Trail, a fee-free, west-east offshoot of the 1,200-mile Florida Trail, a playground of swamps and sand, cypresses and pines. The Florida Trail is as fun and uncanny as American through-hiking gets, but it’s also a monthlong negotiation with alligators and grotesque, blistered feet. This sampler offers plentiful campsites, nearby restaurants (it’s South Florida—always go to the Mexican spot), and cell service, so you can post trail pics for your adoring masses to enjoy. Although Florida is infamous for ceaseless strip malls and ostentatious development, its woods and wetlands remain among the wildest places in the U.S. This lush little corridor proves it.

Route K, Plitvice Lakes National Park, Croatia

Distance: 11 miles
Time to Tackle: Five hours
Terminus: Entrance Station 1

To glimpse —a chain of sapphire and emerald jewels cut into karst and connected by streams, many of them subterranean—is to wonder whether you’ve wandered into an AI-generated simulacrum of natural beauty. Not only are these gems at the core of Croatia’s oldest national park, but you can see many of them during day hikes on a network of serpentine trails. The longest one, Route K, is a circuit among the lower and upper lakes; it spools around the awe-inspiring Jezero Kozjak, like a Lake of the Ozarks retouched in Photoshop, and leads you across a series of boardwalks—ideal platforms to take in an unbelievable panorama of verdant forests, towering waterfalls, cascading seeps, and sprawling tufa embankments. Despite the place’s popularity (it’s affordable, and a quick trip from the Adriatic Sea, which separates this coastline from Italy), wolves, black bears, and wildcats prowl the landscape, a rarity in Europe. There’s a nominal entrance fee; otherwise, you’re free to roam.

Backbone Trail, California

Distance: 67 miles
Time to Tackle: Three to five days
Termini: Point Mugu (west) and Will Rogers State Historic Park (east)

Tell people you hiked the Pacific Crest Trail and they’ll wonder how many times you saw the ocean. (Answer: zero.) So here’s your chance to admire the big blue expanse from several thousand feet above Los Angeles. zigs and zags across the Santa Monica Mountains, just north of the lavish homes of Malibu, before descending to coastal coves. Slicing through a rare safeguarded stretch of Mediterranean ecosystem, this is arguably the country’s most anomalous trail—public land with ocean views, in an area where private interests buy up every scrap of acreage. During the pandemic, the Backbone became a hot spot on the fastest-known-time circuit, with runners racing it in ten hours. Assuming you’re not pursuing such a record, know that campsites are infrequent. So have a friend pick you up at day’s end, or recruit a guide via the Santa Monica Mountains Trails Council to lead you and secure lodging, though it could cost upwards of $500. Otherwise, if night sets in and you’re out of options, you’ll need to burrow in among the chaparral; if anyone asks, you’re from Calabasas.

Chilkoot Trail, Alaska

Distance: 33 miles
Time to Tackle: Two to five days
Termini: Dyea, Alaska (south), and Bennett Lake, British Columbia (north)

From battlefield paths to Appalachian gaps, I love historic trails—journeys that foster a visceral connection with the past in ways books can’t. Exemplary in that regard is the , a Tlingit trade route across the Coast Mountains that bustled with prospectors racing from Alaska into Canada’s Yukon during the Klondike gold rush. Officials weighed their gear just below Chilkoot Pass to ensure that they were bringing enough food and supplies for the expedition ahead. Remnants of this American avarice litter the trail, which, if you’re heading south to north, climbs from a gold-rush ghost town to the Canadian border before descending to mountain-bound Bennett Lake. (“The world’s longest museum,” the National Park Service calls it.) You’ll need a permit ($60) to overnight at the many otherwise free campgrounds. The trail’s international border was closed in 2022, and the trail itself was damaged by floods in October, though the entire thing is expected to reopen in August of this year. If you want to attempt the entire trek, double-check the status before you start—you’re here for a Klondike gold bar, after all.

Trans-Bhutan Trail, Bhutan

Distance: 250 miles
Time to Tackle: 35 days
Termini: Haa (west) and Trashigang (east)

Apart from their traditional uses, historic trails fascinate me because they often involve a renaissance story that occurred long after they were supplanted by train tracks or highways. Case in point: the , used by royal couriers, soldiers, and religious pilgrims for half a millennium before parallel road construction led to disuse and disrepair in the 1950s. Last September, the eastern Himalayan nation reopened the route after substantial fixes by a small army of trail builders. Few places in the world offer an experience of a culture this distinct, especially on foot. When Bhutan, a Buddhist and matrilineal society, opened its borders to tourists in 1974, it revealed rich folklore, verdant expanses of uncut forests, and ornate temples and fortresses tucked into cliffside crags. As you make your way across sweeping valleys, through cramped passes, and into welcoming villages, you can look forward to sharing hearty meals like ema datshi—a stew of cheese and chilies—with the people who made them. The Trans-Bhutan Trail strings together such experiences (along with possible sightings of red pandas, Bengal tigers, and Asiatic black bears) like an ancient charm necklace. Save up, though, since a local guide is required. A five-day trek through a remarkable section near Paro is just $375, but a through-hike will run you around $20,000—cheaper at least, and less cliché, than an attempt on Mount Everest.

Sinai Trail, Egypt

Distance: 340 miles
Time to Tackle: 50 days
Termini: Serabit el-Khadim (west) and Ras Shaitan (east)

“How many trails do you have left?” friends always ask. But how can I reach the proverbial trail’s end when new ones appear every year? To wit, in 2015 three Bedouin tribes on Egypt’s storied Sinai—the land bridge between Africa and Asia—banded together to introduce an amazing 140-mile route from the Red Sea to the country’s highest summit, 8,600-foot Gabal Katrine. With proof of concept and new revenue bolstering a region not frequented by tourists, organizers soon got five more tribes on board and expanded the trail by 200 miles. The Sinai traces an austere desert landscape beneath massive skies. What’s out there? Tiny chapels and abandoned mines, Martian-like rock outcroppings and near tropical oases, serrated mountains and slot canyons. Due to local custom, and an attempt to create an economic boom in an area that sees few of them, you’ll hike with Bedouin guides, your gear and water ferried by camels that, yes, you can ride. Each of the four sections takes about a dozen days to complete and costs a little over a grand, an absolute bargain in the realm of international accompanied treks. The first official through-hike is set for autumn 2023 with local outfitter . While the trip is high on my list, it’s going to have to wait, because terrorism remains a threat in the region; at press time the U.S. government advised against travel in the Sinai. Check with the State Department’s Bureau of Consular Affairs before you book.

Hayduke Trail, Utah and Arizona

Distance: 812 miles
Time to Tackle: Two months
Termini: Arches National Park (east) and Zion National Park (west), both in Utah

George Washington Hayduke is the justifiably spiteful hero of Edward Abbey’s , a comical, canonical manifesto of guerrilla environmental resistance. I have a suspicion Hayduke would approve of now bearing his name. An unsanctioned route that rambles across the mighty sandstone mesas, canyons, and monoclines of the lower Colorado Plateau, the Hayduke traverses public land, including five national parks. With its river crossings, treacherous descents, barely-there pathway, dearth of resupply options, and general water scarcity, it may be the most demanding trek in America. The commensurate beauty, however, is a testament to the no-guts-no-glory credo that compelled Hayduke (and maybe got him killed). At least it’s free, as Hayduke would have wanted. This is the trail I most covet, but even as I near 10,000 total miles on foot, I don’t know that I’m ready yet. My motto, should the time come: Prepare to go through hell to see the Southwest’s heaven.

Olomana Trail, Oahu

Distance: 4.4 miles
Time to Tackle: Four hours
Termini: Olamana Ridge Trailhead (north) and Ahiki (south)

The City of Honolulu recently posted a pair of signs at the famed Olomana Trailhead in eastern Oahu, but these weren’t a polite guide to trail etiquette. “Six people have fallen to their deaths after hiking past the first peak,” read the top placard, a stern preamble to a second sign listing the dates and locations of the accidents. The trail, just ten miles from the capital, is part of the island’s incredible free recreational network—which is to say that, despite the signs, you can legally hike it. But it’s worth considering whether you’re up for the challenge. Named for the first of three steep and narrow summits, linked by a short but harrowing path lined with guide ropes, Olomana is one of the most polarizing trails in the U.S. It’s trumpeted by adrenaline junkies, who also champion the sweeping coastline views that such extreme exposure allows, but scorned by those who see it as a potentially fatal magnet for YouTube bros. Maybe it’s both.

Envision a well-known band and the slosh-fest that typically ensues on tour. The traveling circus would include flowing booze, folding tables lined with greasy grub, and a revolving door of trippy characters getting lit backstage all night.

Well, that’s not how rolls. Formed in Sydney in 2010 and composed of the singer-guitarist Tyrone Lindqvist, keyboardist Jon George, and drummer James Hunt, the alternative electronic music trio has a touring regimen that is about as disciplined and health-centric as it gets. It wasn’t always that way, but things changed three years ago.

Today the group is at a career peak. In 2021, Rüfüs du Sol’s latest album, Surrender, topped charts globally, and in 2022, its anthemic jam “Alive” took home the Grammy Award for best dance recording. As of late April, the guys have again, playing in Colombia and sites including Monterrey and Mexico City, Mexico; then major festivals in Europe; and, starting August 1, seven stops in the United States at locations ranging from Boston to Charlotte, North Carolina.

The heart of the tour, the group’s curated festival , scheduled to run May 4-7 and 11-14 outside San José del Cabo, Mexico, will bring artists like DJ Tennis, Carlita, WhoMadeWho, and Dixon for two weekends of jams and health-minded options like yoga, meditation, and breath work.

Rüfüs Du Sol has a vibe that can span two worlds. Its indie-electro beats with deep house undertones are a soundtrack for a head-bobbing, feel-good night at a dark club—but also, as I recently experienced during a multi-day trek in the Great Smoky Mountains, a cloudless hike in a pine-clad national park. The music is that adaptable and infectious.

In April just before the tour commenced, I sat down with the three band members, who Zoomed in from Austin, Texas, to talk travel and wellness, including their favorite spots, highlights from the road, and Frisbee golf.

şÚÁĎłÔąĎÍř: You’ve been touring for more than a decade. How has your regimen evolved?

James: We’ve made some really good changes, just to make things more healthy, more sustainable, and we want to come out of a tour feeling fitter than when we go into it. It used to be the other way around. We’ve brought in a lot of structure, wellness practices, and breath work. We do ice baths when we can after each show, we take ginger shots before we go onstage, we’re working out, and we have a trainer touring with us. So we have a really good sense of routine built into touring now.

What sparked it?

Tyrone: We’d been touring pretty hard. We’ve been a band for 13 years now, and we made a bit of a switch three or four years ago. Things got busier the more successful we got. We had success in Australia, then the U.S. Things were getting more exciting and the tour schedule more intensive, and we were writing at the same time. The balance of health and wellness with working was definitely not where we wanted it to be.

COVID, in some ways, was kind of a big gift for our mindset. It forced us to stop touring and gave us the opportunity to reconnect. We were actually in Joshua Tree [in Southern California], starting the writing process for Surrender, and we got to process a bunch of stuff that we hadn’t really talked about. We were trying out different things like meditating, exercising as a unit, doing saunas and little cold plunges. And we were building a structured work environment, where we would work for eight hours instead of working till an idea was done. We shifted and gave ourselves a clock-in and clock-out. It brought up a lot of fear and anxiety, like, Are we going to be able to make music like before without working around the clock? But we’ve made it.

Surely there have been some crazy workouts and wellness experiences over the years. Do any stick out in your mind?

James: Well, we just did one about two hours ago here in Austin. Our trainer put us through a pretty brutal leg session. There’s a sense of camaraderie of getting through that intensity together. It breeds a good sort of bonding. You’re lifting each other up.

Jon: One of those memories for me was the last Sundream Baja festival. We weren’t staying in a fancy hotel, but on-site [the venue is between the beaches and desert], which was really cool, with all the energy going on. We had a trainer there again, and we were in the back of one of the villas and just all trained really hard together, sweating it out in such a beautiful setting.

How do you recover after a long tour?

James: There’s always an adjustment period after so much overstimulation. You’re going between different environments, traveling, playing shows with tens of thousands of people, and having a pretty strict exercise routine. That adjustment always takes a few days, but it definitely helps to do some of the same wellness activities that we do on the road. And I always find that doing cold therapy, like the ice plunge, is a really good way to regulate.

For this tour, is there a particular place you’re really looking forward to exploring?

Tyrone: I’m pretty excited to go to Monterrey, in Mexico. We’ve never been there, and my wife’s father’s family is from there.

Jon: Yeah, I’d say Monterrey and Guadalajara [also in Mexico] are up there, along with Medellín [Colombia].

Let’s touch on tours past. What is your favorite place to play and why?

Tyrone: Recently, we went home to Australia and played a bunch of shows. I definitely have a newfound respect and appreciation for Australian crowds and being in Australia, especially having lived over in the U.S. for many years [with a home base in L.A.]. I missed the food for sure. Red Rocks [amphitheater in Morrison, Colorado] is up there. We’ve played there a lot and it has so much history. It’s just so stunning.

Jon: Red Rocks is an amazing experience from the stage. You’re looking up at the crowd rather than down, and they seem so close. It has a very special energy.

Is there a particular activity you’ve really enjoyed while on the road?

James: In 2016, just after we put Bloom out, we had tour dates through the summer, and we discovered Frisbee golf—this game we’d never heard of. We’d be playing [where we had] shows in places like Michigan and Colorado in the beautiful summer weather. We became obsessed—it is a pretty sick way to see different parts of the country.Ěý

Any specific place in the U.S. you enjoy?

Jon: Austin is pretty great. It was one of the first places we played in the U.S. Every time we come here, everyone is so nice. We’ve spent some time rehearsing here at the start of a tour, did South by Southwest, and spent about a week. Everything is just so fresh here.

James: During the pandemic, me and Jon and a bunch of our friends went to Big Sky Country—Montana—because we couldn’t go back to Australia. We had a sort of Friends’ Christmas, and that was sick. The mountain ranges in the U.S. are just unparalleled.

Looking ahead, what is it you want out of a travel experience?

Tyrone: I’m really looking for family-experience travel. I’ve really gotten the experience of seeing new places, having new memories, and eating new cuisines with the guys, and I’ve cherished that. I’m looking forward to a version of that with my wife and son in the future, too.

James: I definitely love meeting people in different parts of the world, connecting with people who live there or someone who’s been there for a little while, the people who know the places to eat and the local hole-in-the-wall spots.

Jon: We’ve developed a lot of friends all over the world while touring, so it’s really cool to be able to have that inside knowledge and a more local experience in different places. But I also love that there is still so much more to see.
