Nature

Parks, wildlife, seasons and weather.

  • Autumn colors in Vermont — The two weeks the hills turn, with farm stays and cider stops along the back roads. (6 days, New England)
  • Yellowstone family safari — Geysers at dawn, bison on the road, and the Lamar Valley before the buses arrive. (8 days, Wyoming)
  • Icelandic winter adventure — Waterfalls, black sand and a real chance at the northern lights, all within a short drive of one base. (7 days, Iceland)
  • Chasing the total eclipse — August 2027 crosses southern Spain. Three days in Cádiz, then ninety seconds nobody forgets. (7 days, Andalusia, Spain)
  • Fireflies in the Smokies — Two weeks a year the Elkmont fireflies flash in time. Cades Cove at dawn is the quiet half of the trip. (5 days, Tennessee)
  • A week on the Great Lakes shore — Climb the Sleeping Bear Dunes, then a Lake Michigan beach week with a lighthouse at the end of it. (7 days, Northern Michigan)
  • The Blue Ridge Parkway, slowly — Four hundred miles with no trucks on it. Peaks of Otter, Linville Falls, and an overlook every few miles. (6 days, Virginia & North Carolina)
